"Pictures of the invisible world can have wild inaccuracies, but every view that flourishes does so because it solves at least one major problem.

Building pictures of the invisible world is the human way of trying to deal with the world we see.

Animals and human beings are both up against a world where most of what determines their fate is invisible to them at the moment.

To a monkey in a clearing, food is nowhere in view.

Often, neither are the males he's competing with or the females he's competing for.

The infants he's contending for the right to father do not, as yet, exist.

The predators who could end his life are equally hidden from sight.

But he has to deal with all of these to send his genes into the next generation."
