Sci-Pop: Natural Selection
By The Genomic Dub Collective
--- Lyrics ---We a study selection— natural selection!
We are studying selection— natural selection!
“It may be said that natural selection is daily and hourly scrutinising, throughout the world, every variation, even the slightest; rejecting that which is bad, preserving and adding up all that is good; silently and insensibly working, whenever and wherever opportunity offers, at the improvement of each organic being in relation to its organic and inorganic conditions of life. We see nothing of these slow changes in progress, until the hand of time has marked the long lapses of ages, and then so imperfect is our view into long past geological ages, that we only see that the forms of life are now different from what they formerly were.”
“…you know…” “…different from what they formerly were…”
“…the hand of time…” “…natural selection…” “…natural selection…” “…you know…”
“The affinities of all the beings of the same class have sometimes been represented by a great tree. I believe this simile largely speaks the truth… As buds give rise by growth to fresh buds, and these, if vigorous, branch out and overtop on all sides many a feebler branch, so by generation I believe it has
been with the great Tree of Life, which fills with its dead and broken branches the crust of the earth, and covers the surface with its ever branching and beautiful ramifications.”
“…beautiful ramifications…”
“…the great Tree of Life…”
“…beautiful ramifications…”
“…the great Tree of Life…”
“…natural selection…”
“…beautiful ramifications…”
“…natural selection…”
“…beautiful ramifications…”
