A quotation from Charles Darwin
It has often and confidently been asserted, that man’s origin can never be known: but ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.
Charles Darwin (1809-1882) English naturalist
The Descent of Man, Introduction (1871)More about this quote: wist.info/darwin-charles/44415…
