Cheetah genes cooperate with cheetah genes but not with camel genes, and vice versa. This is not because cheetah genes, even in the most poetic sense, see any virtue in the preservation of the cheetah species. They are not working to save the cheetah from extinction like some molecular World Wildlife Fund.
. . . not one living species will transmit its unaltered likeness to a distant futurity.
A new species is arising on the planet, it is arising now and you are it.
It's almost impossible to overpay the truly extraordinary CEO. . . but the species is rare.
Curiosity and the urge to solve problems are the emotional hallmarks of our species.
I can't think of a greater legacy than, "Because you lived, another species survived. "
As a species, we create tools to control our environment. What excites my imagination is wilderness: our materials' ability to escape our control.
Ninety-nine percent of all species that ever lived are now extinct.
God is dead, but considering the state the species man is in, there will perhaps be caves, for ages yet, in which his shadow will be shown.
It's a moral question about whether we have the right to exterminate species.
For the human species to evolve, the conversation must deepen.
We are the only animals who steal and drink the milk from other species.
Taught to regard a part of our own Species in the most abject and contemptible Degree below us, we lose that Idea of the dignity of Man which the Hand of Nature had implanted in us, for great and useful purposes.
Man is the result of a purposeless and materialistic process that did not have him in mind. He was not planned. He is a state of matter, a form of life, a sort of animal, and a species of the Order Primates, akin nearly or remotely to all of life and indeed to all that is material.
There has always been a tendency to classify children almost as a distinct species.
If we somehow put a value on species extinction and factor that into our costs that bottom line would look very different. IF we put any resource depletion into costs our bottom line would change. So what we have is a dishonest market that does not take into account all the costs when it establishes its prices. We need an honest marketplace before we can let the market work for sustainability rather than against it as it works today.
There were certain great principles involved in the organization of this earth, and one was that there might be a place provided whereon the children of our Heavenly Father could live and propagate their species and have bodies formed for the spirits to inhabit who were the children of God; for. . . He is the God and Father of the spirits of all flesh.
The facts of microevolution [change within the species] do not suffice for an understanding of macroevolution [theorized change from one species to another].
Even though the album is an endangered species, can we try and make a coherent and good one, even if it's like making a horse and cart at a Nascar conference?
We are the only species on earth capable of preventing our own flowering.
