Because evolution works, we actually have some evolutionary tools.

We've been evolving just as long, just along different paths.

If we could get evolution into the material world, then I propose we should have a general theory of evolution.

I think that that is a Darwinian there's a Darwinian purpose to this.

Are We Still Evolving?

The first wave of evolution is what we think of as Darwinian evolution.

Yeah. I think it's evolutionary.

And it's beginning to tell us a lot about evolution.

Now we're entering a third great wave of evolutionary history, which has been called many things intentional evolution, evolution by design very different than intelligent design whereby we are actually now intentionally designing and altering the physiological forms that inhabit our planet.

Evolution helps us.

We must promote the culture of peace.

Impressive. And the rate of technological evolution speeds up, so a mere quarter of a century after this, you get this, OK.

Then human beings stepped out of the Darwinian flow of evolutionary history and created the second great wave of evolution, which was we changed the environment in which we evolved.

We are not the pinnacle of evolution.

It's important to remember that we evolved.

So we have this special theory of evolution that applies only to organic biology, to us.

The vocal chords will be eliminated by a process of evolution as was the tail of man when he came from the ape.

And we are evolutionarily designed to do vision.

I have never let you go to the ladies' room alone.

Dinosaur evolution proceeded at a stately pace, an order of magnitude slower on any way you want to measure it.

Because if I want evolution, I need containers to compete.

We can't predict, necessarily, what will happen in evolution, but we can learn some of the rules of the game, and that's really what we're trying to do.

Let's see what evolution can do for us.

That's probably where we evolved from.

Evolutionarily speaking, we're just a blip.

Now, I said that if I were religious, I'd be very afraid of evolution. I'd go further.

Today's debate has enabled us to assess the progress made in the process of stabilization and normalization of the overall situation in Kosovo.

We are now taking control of our own evolution.

And that, I think, evolutionarily speaking is unique.

We have evolved to have our own pond.

Maybe we evolved as a hunting pack animal.

He even gave me a little lecture on evolution on the side.

As an evolutionary biologist, I'd say this our brains have evolved to help us survive within the orders of magnitude of size and speed which our bodies operate at. We never evolved to navigate in the world of atoms.

I propose to you that matter that can evolve is alive, and this gives us the idea of making evolvable matter.

We could make them evolve to be not so harmful to us.

When we find a fossil, we mark it.

So, what we are trying to do in our exploration is effectively write the book of how things have came about as they are today.

And so, what technology gives us, over the long term, over the sort of extended evolution from the beginning of time, through the invention of the plants and animals, and the evolution of life, the evolution of brains what that is constantly giving us is increasing differences It's increasing diversity, it's increasing options, it's increasing choices, opportunities, possibilities and freedoms.

The Education Antidote to Radicalization

And we forget there is no progress without change.

I think we're going to have to have a major round of moral progress in the world.

See, evolution protected us during our childbearing years and then, after age 35 or 40 or 45, it said It doesn't matter anymore, because they've had their progeny.

We are looking forward to further progress in the six party process, with the ultimate goal of denuclearizing the Korean peninsula.

I'm going to skip ahead here. At some point we get larger, and we actually get to a macro evolution scale.

By cultural evolution we mean the evolution of ideas.
