"Sex is ... scratching an itch Everything else is something we project on a very simple act. It's the psychology, not the biology, that's complicated."

Previous Quote

Our task now is to resynthesize biology; put the organism back into its environment; connect it again to its evolutionary past; and let us feel that complex flow that is organism, evolution, and environment united. The time has come for biology to enter the nonlinear world.
