If You Watch Animals Objectively For Any

We Keep Putting On Programmes About Famine In Ethiopia; That’s What’s Happening. Too Many People There. They Can’t Support Themselves — And It’s Not An Inhuman Thing To Say. It’s The Case. Until Humanity Manages To Sort Itself Out And Get A Coordinated View About The Planet It’s Going To Get Worse And Worse.

Nothing In The Natural World Makes Sense - Except When Seen In The Light Of Evolution

Opponents Say Natural Selection Is Not A Theory Supported By Observation Or Experiment; That It Is Not Based On Fact; And That It Cannot Be Proved. Well, No, You Cannot Prove The Theory To People Who Won't Believe In It Any More Than You Can Prove That The Battle Of Hastings Took Place In 1066. However, We Know The Battle Happened Then, Just As We Know The Course Of Evolution On Earth Unambiguously Shows That Darwin Was Right.

Sentimentalising Is Anathema, As Far As I Am Concerned. It Leads You Into Ethical Problems About Violence And Killing And Eating Meat. The Whole World Becomes Topsy-survy If You Impose Moralities That Were Evolved Within Human Society On What A Blowfly Or What A Parasite Does... There Are Lots Of Emotions You Can Deduce From An Animal's Behaviour That Are Correct, But When You Start Saying It's Feeling Guilty Or Thinking Or A Loved One Or Mourning, You Must Be Very Careful Of Those Feelings.
