Fear is the tool of a man-made devil
Are the different species defined by paleontologists - Homo erectus, Homo neanderthalensis and ourselves, Homo sapiens - all part of the same gene pool or not?
We are all a complete mixture;yet at the same time,we are all related. Each gene can trace its own journey to a different common ancestor. This is a quite extraordinary legacy that we all have inherited from the people who lived before us. Our genes did not just appear when we were born. They have been carried to us by millions of individual lives over thousands of generations.
DNA is the messenger which illuminates that connection,handed down from generation to generation,carried,literally,in the bodies of my ancestors.
By looking at the details of the DNA, it is possible to chart the flow of your ancestry from your ultimate grandmother to more modern times.
There's no genetic basis for any kind of rigid ethnic or racial classification. . . I'm always asked is there Greek DNA or an Italian gene, but, of course, there isn't. . . . We're very closely related.
Oral myths are closer to the genetic conclusions than the often ambiguous scientific evidence of archaeology.
Fear is something you have to throw into a corner. Constantly. Because it never goes away.
The day is of infinite length for him who knows how to appreciate and use it.
We'll have a different set of values, and society will adapt. That doesn't mean these changes are all good, just because we will accept them. But the 'Chicken Little' view of history isn't correct. Changes take place gradually, and people and institutions adapt.
Perhaps there is an idea among Japanese students that one general difference between Japanese and Western poetry is that the former cultivates short forms and the latter longer ones, gut this is only in part true.
