Politics and the Evolutionary Process

  • Chapter
Evolutionary Biology

Abstract

Homo sapiens—the knowing, the wise, the sagacious animal—that is what the taxonomists of the eighteenth century named this remarkable—nay, this transcendent—species.

There are many fearful and wonderful things, but none is more fearful and wonderful than man. He makes his path over the storm-swept sea and he harries old Earth with his plough. He takes the wild beasts captive and turns them into his servants. He has taught himself speech and wind-swift thought, and the habits that pertain to government. Against everything that confronts him he invents some resource—against death alone he has no resource.

Sophocles, Antigone
