Rhythms of Life Quotes

“The climate changes; mountain ranges form and continents are remodelled. But the one constant in this ever-changing environment, since the earth and the moon locked into their orbits, is that the earth will turn on its axis, within a minute or two, every 24 hours; that every 365.25 days, Sirius the Dog Star will rise with the sun; the moon will wax and wane every 29.5 days; and twice a day the tides will roll over the shore. It is small wonder that these basic rhythms are etched into living creatures; and small wonder that the ability to anticipate and exploit these changes has an evolutionary advantage.”
― Russell Foster, The Rhythms Of Life: The Biological Clocks That Control the Daily Lives of Every Living Thing
