Вони користуються ним, поки плавають по морях, шукаючи укриття, де б можна було постійно отримувати їжу з води. Щойно таке укриття знаходиться, це дороге в обслуговуванні обладнання їм більше не потрібне і... вони його зʼїдають. (Дехто доволі жорстко пожартував, що це трохи нагадує академіків на безстроковому контракті)."-David Christian, Origin Story: A Big History of Everything

"In the past two hundred years, human numbers grew to over seven billion, and our species began to transform the oceans, the land, and the air. Human-built roads, canals, and railways snaked across the continents, linking thousands of human-built cities with populations in the millions. Vast ships navigated the oceans, and planes ferried goods and people through the air and across the continents. Just a hundred years ago, in glowing filaments and patches, Earth started lighting up at night."-David Christian, Origin Story: A Big History of Everything
