God gave men both a penis and a brain, but unfortunately not enough blood supply to run both at the same time.
I live my life through the prism of capitalism and physiological limits and eventualities.
Even a superficial glance is sufficient to show that all the innumerable forms in which the life-urge of Nature manifests itself are subject to a fundamental law - one may call it an iron law of Nature - which compels the various species to keep within the definite limits of their own life-forms when propagating and multiplying their kind.
Natural selection will not remove ignorance from future generations.
Species go extinct because there are historical contraints built into a given body or a given design.
Organisms by their design are not made to adapt too far.
You really can't take a cat and turn it into a dog, or try and get lemons off an apple tree, or what have you.
I think it's hard for women to be directors, particularly in the feature world because, biologically, your peak career-making years are also your peak baby-making years, and that's just the truth. And those are choices women have to make.
From a hundred rabbits you can't make a horse.
Organisms [...] are directed and limited by their past. They must remain imperfect in their form and function, and to that extent unpredictable since they are not optimal machines. We cannot know their future with certainty, if only because a myriad of quirky functional shifts lie within the capacity of any feature, however well adapted to a present role.
With full responsibility for my words as a professional biologist, I do not hesitate to say that all existing and genuine knowledge about the way in which the physical characteristics of human communities are related to their cultural capabilities can be written on the back of a postage stamp.
The spandrels of San Marco and the Panglossian Paradigm.
Orchids were not made by an ideal engineer; they are jury-rigged from a limited set of available components.
• This seems impossible to me. It seems biologically impossible to stay the same size, although I must. It seems one must always be either bigger or smaller than they were at some arbitrary point in time to which all things are compared. The panties that are possibly tighter than they were. When? You can't say when. But you are absolutely positive no question that it's true.
It is indeed the boundary of life, beyond which we are not to pass; which the law of nature has pitched for a limit not to be exceeded.
You will never make the crab walk straight.
Why didn't evolution make a giraffe good at carpentry so it could build a ladder?
No matter how tough you are or how much willpower or determination you have, if there's something wrong with your body, it's going to shut down and stop. It's good to have those qualities, but it's important to know what you're pushing against.
Why has not Man a microscopic eye? For this plain reason, Man is not a Fly. Say what the use, were finer optics giv'n, T' inspect a mite, not comprehend the heav'n.
