• Permítanme poner las cartas sobre la mesa. Si tuviera que conceder un premio a la mejor idea que alguien haya tenido jamás, se lo daría a Darwin, por delante incluso de Newton o Einstein y de todos los demás. De un solo golpe, la idea de la evolución por selección natural unifica el reino de la vida, el significado y el propósito con el reino del espacio y el tiempo, la causa y el efecto, el mecanismo y la ley física. No es sólo una idea maravillosa. Es una idea peligrosa.

  Daniel Dennett
