"Infact, intelligence, which was once seen as the antecedent cause of all things, is, in itself, almost certainly, a biological phenomenon. Far from being the initiator of things, we are now beginning to recognize that intelligence is a relatively late arrival in the universe. Like the limbs and organs which, until Darwin, were visualized as the products of the intelligent design, it's becoming increasingly likely that intelligence itself is the product of natural selection. Inconceivable without the existence of the brain. Even the idea of the soul, which the faithful fondly visualize as the colonial outpost of an imperial power on high, will, I'm sure, shortly be explained as the autonomous product of local brainwork."
