{"quotes":[{"text":"Biomasses are a biological reality that cannot be denied as existing, but even though they exist physically, yet they have not attained the height of Homo sapiens. Humans could be termed as biomasses when they don’t fully put into use their human qualifications. Men and women that don’t bother to think. Men and women that don’t bother to notice things that are out of order. People who are indifferent about the happenings around them. Men and women that don’t respond with solution to the challenges of the era. All of these people are united by one common name BIOMASSES.","author":"Sunday Adelaja","tags":["biology","biomass","challenges","happenings","humans","physical","reality","solution","united"],"id":72,"author_id":"Sunday+Adelaja"},{"text":"Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution.","author":"Theodosius Dobzhansky","tags":["biology","evidence","evolution","natural-selection","science","sense"],"id":830,"author_id":"Theodosius+Dobzhansky"},{"text":"Averages might mean something to bureaucrats and engineers, but the sea had no struck with statistics: it was a succession of unpredictable circumstances and extremes.","author":"Frank Schätzing","tags":["biology","nature"],"id":1579,"author_id":"Frank+Sch%C3%A4tzing"},{"text":"One of my friends compared me to Bruce Banner, due to my work with radiation and human health. So I looked up Bruce Banner and this is what I found: Banner, a physicist, is sarcastic and seemingly very self-assured when he first appears in Incredible Hulk #1, but is also emotionally withdrawn in most fashions...Banner is considered one of the greatest scientific minds on Earth, possessing 'a mind so brilliant it cannot be measured on any known intelligence test.' He holds expertise in biology, chemistry, engineering, physiology, and nuclear physics.","author":"Steven Magee","tags":["banner","biology","bruce","chemistry","engineering","health","hulk","human","incredible","nuclear","physics","physiology","radiation","radiation-effects"],"id":2747,"author_id":"Steven+Magee"},{"text":"Permanence of instinct must go with permanence of form...The history of the present must teach us the history of the past.[Referring to studying fossil remains of the weevil, largely unchanged to the present day.].","author":"Jean-Henri Fabre","tags":["biology","evolution","form","fossil","history","instinct","past","science"],"id":2891,"author_id":"Jean-Henri+Fabre"},{"text":"Our brains contain one hundred billion nerve cells (neurons). Each neuron makes links with ten thousand other neurons to form an incredible three dimensional grid. This grid therefore contains a thousand trillion connections - that's 1,000,000,000,000,000 (a quadrillion). It's hard to imagine this, so let's visualise each connection as a disc that's 1mm thick. Stack up the quadrillion discs on top of each other and they will reach the sun (which is ninety-three million miles from the earth) and back, three times over.","author":"Nessa Carey","tags":["biology","brain","epigenetics","mind-blowing","neurons","science"],"id":5133,"author_id":"Nessa+Carey"},{"text":"Water is one of the least understood aspects of biology.","author":"Steven Magee","tags":["aspects","biology","least","one","understood","water"],"id":7284,"author_id":"Steven+Magee"},{"text":"No existing form of anthropoid ape is even remotely related to the stock which has given rise to man.","author":"Henry Fairfield Osborn","tags":["anthropoid","apes","biology","evolution","homo-sapiens","human-evolution","humans","man","primates","relation","science"],"id":8478,"author_id":"Henry+Fairfield+Osborn"},{"text":"For those scientists who take it seriously, Darwinian evolution has functioned more as a philosophical belief system than as a testable scientific hypothesis. This quasi-religious function of the theory is, I think, what lies behind many of the extreme statements that you have doubtless encountered from some scientists opposing any critical analysis of neo-Darwinism in the classroom. It is also why many scientists make public statements about the theory that they would not defend privately to other scientists like me.","author":"James A.
