Conclusion
- 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.

Famous quotes containing the word conclusion:
“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)
“Girls who put out are tramps. Girls who don’t are ladies. This is, however, a rather archaic usage of the word. Should one of you boys happen upon a girl who doesn’t put out, do not jump to the conclusion that you have found a lady. What you have probably found is a lesbian.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1951)
“I’ve heard the wolves scuffle, and said: So this
Is man; so what better conclusion is there
The day will not follow night, and the heart
Of man has a little dignity, but less patience
Than a wolf’s....”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
