Quote by Yuval Noah Harari
English (Source)
The currency of evolution is not starvation or pain, but copies of DNA helices. Just as the economic success of a company is measured by the number of dollars in its bank account, not the happiness of its employees, so the evolutionary success of a species is measured by the number of copies of its DNA. If there are no more DNA copies left, the species will die out, just as the company that has no more money will go bankrupt. If the species produces many DNA copies, it is a success and the species flourishes. From this point of view, 1000 copies are always better than 100. This is the essence of the agricultural revolution: the ability for more people to survive even in worse conditions.
