Quote by Terry Pratchett

Most species do their own evolving, making it up as they go along, which is the way Nature intended. And this is all very natural and organic and in tune with mysterious cycles of the cosmos, which believes that theres nothing like millions of years of really frustrating trial and error to give a species moral fiber and, in some cases, backbone.


Most species do their own evolving, making it up as they go

Summary

This quote humorously suggests that evolution occurs naturally and haphazardly, with each species navigating its own path. It implies that this process is in harmony with the cosmic cycles, which deem trial and error over millions of years as essential for developing a species' character and strength. It highlights the beauty and complexity of nature, emphasizing the idea that there is no predetermined or guided evolution, but rather a continuous improvisation shaped by the circumstances and experiences of each species.
