• Molecular genetics can show off some surprising relationships like, for example, the close relationship of whales to hippopotamuses, which I think nobody ever guessed until molecular data was looked at. The closest relatives of whales are hippopotamuses, even closer than any other cloven-hoofed animals.

• A pesar de la retórica de la campaña, las burocracias -las grandes empresas y el gran gobierno- están aquí para quedarse. El esfuerzo de centralización no puede ser frenado, pero puede ser dirigido racionalmente hacia el objetivo de nuestra especie: la migración espacial, que a su vez ofrece la única manera de recuperar la libertad individual del espacio-tiempo y las estructuras sociales de pequeños grupos que obviamente mejor se adaptan a nuestros sistemas nerviosos. Es otra paradoja de la neurogenética que sólo en los hábitats espaciales puede la humanidad volver a la vida de aldea y al estilo pastoral que todos anhelamos.

• Because we can engineer genetics, because we can telecast real lives-of course we must, right? But are these good things to do? The irony is, the people who will finally answer that question will be the very ones produced by the process.

• The three of us have worked on the development of the small and totally harmless fruit fly, Drosophila. This animal has been extremely cooperative in our hands - and has revealed to us some of its innermost secrets and tricks for developing from a single celled egg to a complex living being of great beauty and harmony. ... None of us expected that our work would be so successful or that our findings would ever have relevance to medicine.

• The human genome will not help us to understand the spiritual side of humankind, or to know who God is or what love is. The well-heeled couple who decide they want to use genetics to have a child that is a gifted musician may end up with a sullen adolescent who smokes marijuana and doesn't talk to them.

• Enforced by genetics, sexual reproduction, perspective, and experience, the most manifest characteristic of human beings is their diversity. The freer an economy is, the more this human diversity of knowledge will be manifested. By contrast, political power originates in top-down processes-governments, monopolies, regulators, and elite institutions- all attempting to quell human diversity and impose order. Thus power always seeks centralization.

• Sabemos que la evolución se produjo no por fósiles transicionales como A. natans, sino por la convergencia de pruebas procedentes de campos tan diversos como la geología, la paleontología, la biogeografía, la anatomía y fisiología comparadas, la biología molecular, la genética y muchos más.

• Some atheists are quite explicit that their atheism comes first. One of the most famous is Richard Lewontin, a professor of genetics, who said it wasn't science that compelled him to accept a materialistic explanation of the universe. It was an a priori materialism.

• Our modern lifestyle is not a political creation. Before 1700, everybody was poor as hell. Life was short and brutish. It wasn't because we didn't have good politicians; we had some really good politicians. But then we started inventing - electricity, steam engines, microprocessors, understanding genetics and medicine and things like that. Yes, stability and education are important - I'm not taking anything away from that - but innovation is the real driver of progress.

• (Tras encontrarse con su madre biológica después de más de 40 años) Intercambiamos ramos de orquídeas, riéndonos de la coincidencia de las flores. Un poco desconcertante: Me pregunto si esa elección tiene algo que ver con la genética. ... Quiero llevarme las mías a casa y cuidarlas para que vivan durante días. Puede que rocíe las hojas y me asegure de que estén en una ventana orientada al este, y las mantenga alejadas del sol directo.

• There's a ceiling when it comes to genetics. I'm a huge believer in the mind. I feel like anticipation is a key to the success of the game and I feel that's where I thrive. Being able to anticipate, prepare and live in the details of the game.

• Genetics and beats? I feel like the drumbeat is a natural thing. Our heartbeat moves at a certain BPM. The drumbeat, being the first instrument, the platform for us, being that we all kind of come from that - it's all beats.

• As the popular trust in science fades - and many sociologists say that's happening today - people will develop a distrust of purely "scientific" psychology. Researchers in the universities haven't picked up on this; they're more interested in genetics and computer models of thinking than ever. But, in general, there is a huge distrust of the scientific establishment now.

• The Greek idea of fate is moira, which means "portion." Fate rules a portion of your life. But there is more to life than just fate. There is also genetics, environment, economics, and so on. So it's not all written in the book before you get here, such that you don't have to do anything. That's fatalism.

• The theory of evolution by natural selection is an ecological theory-founded on ecological observation by perhaps the greatest of all ecologists. It has been adopted by and brought up by the science of genetics, and ecologists, being modest people, are apt to forget their distinguished parenthood.
