Top 4 Sean B Carroll Quotes (2025 Update)

Sean B Carroll Quote: “Evolution of form is very much a matter of teaching very old genes new tricks!”

1. “Evolution of form is very much a matter of teaching very old genes new tricks!”

2. “Behe named this inability to explain the creation of new taxa through genetics “Darwin’s black box”. When the box is opened, he expects evidence of the Deity to be found. However, inside Darwin’s black box resides merely another type of genetics – developmental genetics.”

— Sean B Carroll

3. “What a tragic irony, that the more we understand of biology, the less we have of it to learn from and enjoy. What will be the legacy of this new century – to cherish and to protect Nature or to see butterflies and zebras and much more vanish into legend like the thylacine, moa and dodo?”

— Sean B Carroll

4. “As delightful as the Just So explanations are of how spots, stripes, humps and horns came to be, biology can now tell us stories about butterflies, zebras and leopards that I contend are every bit as enchanting as Kipling’s fairy tales. What’s more, they offer some simple, elegant truths that deepen our understanding of all animal forms, including ourselves.”

— Sean B Carroll
