“Some people object to the slightest hint of being related to the rest of the animal kingdom, particularly the hairy apes… I’ve kind of enjoyed what little I’ve seen of them… Animals seem pretty wonderful to me. I’d be content to discover that I share a common heritage with them, so long as God is at the controls.”

Henry Eyring, Reflections of a Scientist (Salt Lake City, UT: Deseret Book Company, 1983), 59-67.
