- In conclusion, Mark Ridley has been a powerful contributor to the topic of evolution. Ridley has made both literary and scientific contributions. He has written books such as How to Read Darwin (2006) to help his audience understand how to interpret topics revolving around evolution. Fecundity is a topic that is considered but not delved into. Mark Ridley through his text portrays to the reader the importance of fecundity and how impacting it is in obtaining a greater understanding of evolution. He uses his knowledge to explain natural selection in both a human and animal perspective. He has also done work in finding the “evolution” in viruses such as HIV. Further readings on Mark Ridley can be done. Currently, he is working at Oxford University where he continues to be a zoologist and further examine evolution.

“I have come to the conclusion that the major part of the work of a President is to increase the gate receipts of expositions and fairs and by tourists into town.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“The conclusion suggested by these arguments might be called the paradox of theorizing. It asserts that if the terms and the general principles of a scientific theory serve their purpose, i. e., if they establish the definite connections among observable phenomena, then they can be dispensed with since any chain of laws and interpretive statements establishing such a connection should then be replaceable by a law which directly links observational antecedents to observational consequents.”
—C.G. (Carl Gustav)
“We must not leap to the fatalistic conclusion that we are stuck with the conceptual scheme that we grew up in. We can change it, bit by bit, plank by plank, though meanwhile there is nothing to carry us along but the evolving conceptual scheme itself. The philosopher’s task was well compared by Neurath to that of a mariner who must rebuild his ship on the open sea.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
