Quotables

"A growing contemporary understanding is that evolution is a planetary phenomenon, and that the Earth system at its highest level evolves as a single global entity. Natural selection cannot address or even recognize this global evolution because there is no population of replicating and competing Earth systems on which natural selection can act; the Earth is a population of one." Swenson & Turvey, Thermodynamic reasons for perception-action cycles
