Quote of the Day | 1206
There’s so much to explore here, once we start thinking about the forces that make us who we are. Of course we shouldn’t overdo the evolutionary heritage, as if inheritance is determining everything that matters. But there’s no question it’s real and important. When I think about how events in our evolutionary past still shape our lives today, I like to draw a parallel with the echoes of the Big Bang, the background microwave radiation, which can still be detected in the telescopes we send to space. Likewise, the human genome carries vibrations from the deep, deep childhood of our species, which still show up in contemporary behavior. Every one of us brings the past into the present.
Nicolas Humphrey, ‘The Evolved Self-Management System’
