If We Do Not Do Something To

Change Happens By Listening And Then Starting A Dialogue With The People Who Are Doing Something You Don't Believe Is Right.

I Do Not Want To Discuss Evolution In Such Depth, However, Only Touch On It From My Own Perspective: From The Moment When I Stood On The Serengeti Plains Holding The Fossilized Bones Of Ancient Creatures In My Hands To The Moment When, Staring Into The Eyes Of A Chimpanzee, I Saw A Thinking, Reasoning Personality Looking Back. You May Not Believe In Evolution, And That Is All Right. How We Humans Came To Be The Way We Are Is Far Less Important Than How We Should Act Now To Get Out Of The Mess We Have Made For Ourselves.

If Everybody On The Planet Today Had The Same Standard Of Living As The Average European Or American, We Would Need Three New Planets. But We Don't Even Have One New Planet. We Have This One, And With The Way We're Polluting It, The Shrinking Water Resources, The Climate Change, The Experimentation With Plants... The Outlook Is Grim.

People Say, "oh, We Ought To Fight For Animal Rights." We Fought For Human Rights, But Even If Humans Have Rights, They Can Still Be Horribly Abused And Are Every Day. You Don't Have To Go To Some Far Off Land, Far Away Place; We Have A Lot Of Child Abuse In Our Own Society.

When I Go Back To Gombe It's To Be In That Timeless World Where It's Soft And Where Life Is Entwined And You Actually See The Pattern Of Nature. I Always Feel This Great Spiritual Power Which I Believe Is Around.
