Quotes by David S. Moore (?)

“Of course, we have all always known that our experiences affect our minds, and therefore, our brains; but work on epigenetics has revealed a mechanistic way in which the things we learn, and information about our environment, can be physically incorporated into our brains.”
― David S. Moore, The Developing Genome: An Introduction to Behavioral Epigenetics

“An example of perfection in nature is the cockroach. It was living six million years before us and it may outlast us by that long. The brain of a cockroach is a splendid little engine. It doesn't evolve and it doesn't need to. The human brain is a disaster from the point of view of perfection--great intellectual power combined with primitive emotional reactions. Human beings today are living with terrible risks of their own creation--nuclear weapons, the exploitation of natural resources, the great disparity between the wealthy and the poor. Our brains will probably bring us to destruction, but we also have the possibility of growth, evolution. I prefer being a human. We shouldn't always look for perfection, in nature or our lives.”
― Rita Levi-Montalcini
