In 1973, evolutionary biologist Theodosius Dobzhansky penned that "nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution," because it has brought to light the relations of what first seemed disjointed facts in natural history into a coherent explanatory body of knowledge that describes and predicts many observable facts about life on this planet.
I 1973 skrev evolutionsbiologen Theodosius Dobzhansky, at "intet i biologien giver mening undtagen i lyset af evolution," fordi det har kastet lys på relationer, som først virkede usammenhængende fakta i naturhistorie til, at blive til en sammenhængende mængde af viden der beskriver og forudsiger mange observerebare fakta om livet på denne planet.
