Quotes by Population Comparison of statements made at different periods frequently enable us to give maximal and minimal dates to the appearance of a cultural element or to assign the time limits to a movement of population.

Elizabeth Edwards population razors class Syria's population is 74% Sunni Muslim. Elliott Abrams population syria Trait X is fitter than trait Y in a population of organisms if those organisms have other biological traits T and live in an environment that has properties E.

Elliott Sober population environment natural People living on atolls like Tuvalu are among the world's most threatened populations. Enele Sopoaga population people world For Mexicans, for Americans, we are all united by 3,000 kilometers of border, with neighboring states - ten neighbors states, and with population over 15 million inhabitants.

Enrique Pena Nieto population neighbor borders Sometime when I was in my mid-twenties I noticed, "Hey, even I don't go into too many art galleries. Why? Because I don't like the vibe in them.

In a Communist country it takes half the population to supervise the other half. Eric Hoffer population half country If, however, one factor is too successful, it will continue to be the winning factor regardless of the variation in the other factors over the range of variation in the conditions, and therefore will stifle the development of other advantageous factors until the conditions change sufficiently that it no longer is the winning factor.

Ernst Mayr novelty population doe A species consists of a group of populations which replace each other geographically or ecologically and of which the neighboring ones integrate or hybridise wherever they are in contact or which are potentially capable of doing so (with one or more of the populations) in those cases where contact is prevented by geographical or ecological barriers. Ernst Mayr population groups science Paleontologists had long been aware of a seeming contradiction between Darwin's postulate of gradualism, confirmed by the work of population genetics, and the actual findings of paleontology. Following phyletic lines through time seemed to reveal only minimal gradual changes but no clear evidence for any change of a species into a different genus or for the gradual origin of an evolutionary novelty. Anything truly novel always seemed to appear quite abruptly in the fossil record. Ernst Mayr population different long Isolating mechanisms are biological properties of individuals that prevent the interbreeding of populations that are actually or potentially sympatric. Ernst Mayr isolation population science A new species develops if a population which has become geographically isolated from its parental species acquires during this period of isolation characters which promote or guarantee reproductive isolation when the external barriers break down. Ernst Mayr population character science I had found again and again that the most aberrant population of a species - often having reached species rank, and occasionally classified even as a separate genus - occurred at a peripheral location, indeed usually at the most isolated peripheral location.
