“It is not the strongest of the species that survives, or the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.”—Charles Darwin
Charles Darwin had made a controversial theory in the human and scientific history. He said that a man could be a result of evolution from monkey in a long time. His theory was rejected by religious figure, other scientists, and me too :-)
The quote above seems like evolution theory. But read the quote carefully and then you can find that it’s not an evolution story but only a statement about how individual can survive through many species in the world. Although I don’t agree with his theory, but I have the same opinion that human have superior adaptation ability rather than any other species in the world.

Scientific Quote
"Now and then a scientist stumbles across a fact that seems to solve one of the great mysteries of science overnight. Such unexpected discoveries are rare. When they occur, the scientific community gets very excited. But excitement is not the best barometer of scientific validity. Science, said Adam Smith, should be "the great antidote to the poison of enthusiasm". The case of the disappearing dinosaurs is a fascinating demonstration that science is not based on facts alone. The interpretation of the facts is even more important."
(Robert Jastrow, Ph.D. (physics), Director, Institute for Space Studies, USA), "The dinosaur massacre", Omega Science Diegest, March/April, 1984, pg. 23).
