“¿Por qué estamos aquí nosotros, y no los neandertales? [...] fuimos afortunados por haber estado en los lugares adecuados en los momentos oportunos.”
Clive Finlayson, The Humans Who Went Extinct: Why Neanderthals Died Out and We Survived
“Contrary to popular belief, history does not repeat itself. The story of our planet was not predetermined, there was no air of inevitability to it, and the story of life does not speak to us of a linear progression from primitive to sophisticate. Instead, its shape has been carved out by the accumulation and loss of information, genetic and cultural, creating the illusion of relentless progress.”
