Just a little quote I found:
“If you were designing an organism to look after life in our lonely cosmos, to monitor where it is going and keep record of where it has been, you wouldn’t choose human beings for the job- We have been chosen, by fate or providence or whatever you want to call it. As far as we can tell, we are the best there is. It’s an unnerving thought that we may be the living universe’s supreme achievement and it’s worst nightmare simultaneously”. Bill Bryson-A short history of almost everything.
Incidentally a cool book, read it. Unfortunately my copy is in Germany like so many of my things :/
