"Light will be thrown on the origin of man and his history..."
|
Charles Robert Darwin
(1809-1882)
"There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed, into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning, endless forms, most beautiful and most wonderful, have been and are being, evolved."
On the Origin of Species (1859)
