Unfortunately, most of today’s women resemble bowerbirds that force suitors to build elaborate nests of twigs, leaves, and discarded garbage before choosing a mate. Any male who doesn’t meet her standards doesn’t get to mate that year; one assumes he just stays in his bower, reads bower manuals, and watches bowerbird porn. Stephen Colbert

Each has required a particular sequence of one or more preadaptations that occurred previously. Homo sapiens is the only... E. O. Wilson
