" "if we were organisms so sensitive that a single atom, or even a few atoms, could make a perceptible impression on our senses – Heavens, what would life be like! To stress one point: an organism of that kind would most certainly not be capable of developing the kind of orderly thought which, after passing through a long sequence of earlier stages, ultimately results in forming, among many other ideas, the idea of an atom.

Dejando de lado la metáfora, pienso que la filosofía de los antiguos griegos nos atrae hoy porque nunca antes o desde entonces, en ningún lugar del mundo, se ha establecido nada parecido a su altamente avanzado y articulado sistema de conocimiento y especulación sin la fatídica división que nos ha estorbado durante siglos y que ha llegado a hacerse insufrible en nuestros días.

In order to be suitable material for the work of natural selection, mutations must be rare events, as they actually are. If they were so frequent that there was a considerable chance of, say, a dozen of different mutations occurring in the same individual, the injurious ones would, as a rule, predominate over the advantageous ones and the species, instead of being improved by selection, would remain unimproved, or would perish.
