" After all, we emerged from the mud some millions of years ago, and although we got rid of our scales, there is still a long way to go before we become really human — but one of these days we shall triumph over our limitations, over the harsh biological law which has been imposed upon us. Our friend was right: it’s an inhuman law, and it’s high time to change it.Then all that will be left of the infirmity and the challenge of being a man will be one more cast skin by the side of our
track. "

― Romain Gary , The Roots of Heaven
