Quotes

  • The intervals of time that separate the fossils are so huge that we cannot say anything definite about their possible connection through ancestry and descent.
  • To take a line of fossils and claim that they represent a lineage is not a scientific hypothesis that can be tested, but an assertion that carries the same validity as a bedtime story—amusing, perhaps even instructive, but not scientific.
  • There is more genetic variation in a few troupes of wild chimpanzees than in the entire human population. Lack of genetic variation is never good for species survival.
  • [O]ver the past few decades, the quality of human sperm has declined massively... Pollution... is one possible factor. Another might be stress... triggered by living in close proximity...
  • The cause of extinction is usually a delayed reaction to habitat loss. ...H. sapiens might ...already be a dead species walking.
  • [T]he human population is set not just for shrinkage but collapse—and soon. To paraphrase Lehrer, if we are going to write about human extinction, we’d better start writing now.
