Mary Roach Quote

THE GREAT IRONY is that in the beginning, the gut was all there was. We’re basically a highly evolved earthworm surrounding the intestinal tract, Khoruts commented as we drove away from his clinic the last day I was there. Eventually, the food processor had to have a brain attached to help it look for food, and limbs to reach that food. That increased its size, so it needed a circulatory system to distribute the fuel that powered the limbs.
