"One morning I woke up and something had happened in the night, and it struck me that I had been working on this (evolution) stuff for twenty years and there was not one thing I knew about it.

Part of a keynote address given at the American Museum of Natural History by Dr Colin Patterson (Senior Palaeontologist, British Museum of Natural History, London) in 1981. Unpublished transcript.
