Pergamon, a prosperous city in western Anatolia, was fabled to have been founded by Hercules’ son. Like many Hellenistic cities populated by Greeks who intermarried with indigenous people, Pergamon after Alexander the Great’s death (323 B.C.) had evolved a hybrid of democracy and Persian-influenced monarchy.
Because the private sector has evolved processes and metrics for growth over many generations, for-profit models are more likely to efficiently accomplish their goals.
I had no ambition to go into show business when I was growing up. I started out as an advertising copywriter and evolved into it. Once you get into it, however, it’s very difficult to get out. It gets into your blood. You don’t want to do anything else. You want that excitement.
Biology is a software process. Our bodies are made up of trillions of cells, each governed by this process. You and I are walking around with outdated software running in our bodies, which evolved in a very different era.
When I moved to New York I started to do a lot of TV commercials. It just kind of naturally evolved from still photography to commercials.
I think romantic love evolved to enable you to focus your mating energy on just one individual at a time, thereby conserving mating time and energy.
Reggeton has changed very much, musically. It has evolved. The artists have also evolved.
I’m grateful for the fans who’ve been there from the beginning and am excited about how we’ve grown and how we’ve evolved now.
The way to understand how different species evolved is to think about the niches that they fill in an ecosystem – basically, how they make a living.
Soho is a gritty former mercantile area that has, of course, evolved into the most bourgeois neighborhood in New York.
The only creatures that are evolved enough to convey pure love are dogs and infants.
It is astounding how evolved and progressed India has become. It is holding on to its extraordinary rich culture and becoming global and Western at the same time.
My success just evolved from working hard at the business at hand each day.
Canada evolved within the British Empire: it inherited the Parliamentary system, the Cabinet system and all the other features of the British constitutional system which had been in place, for the most part, for several centuries before Canada was even thought of.
A ratio of failures is built into the process of writing. The wastebasket has evolved for a reason.
I wouldn’t change Buffy for anything and I wouldn’t change the course in which she has evolved but it is nice to be able to do something that is a little different.
Our moral sense really evolved to bind groups together into teams that can cooperate in order to compete with other teams.
An eye for beauty locks onto faces that show signs of health and fertility – just as one would predict if it had evolved to help the beholder find the fittest mate.
Finding the first seed black holes could help reveal how the relation between black holes and their host galaxies evolved over time.
My style has evolved a lot.
Darwin and his successors taught us how our biosphere evolved, and thereby transformed our conception of humanity’s place in nature. In the twenty-first century, space scientists are setting Darwin in a grander cosmic context – probing the origins of Earth, stars, atoms and the universe itself.
In ‘Futurama,’ the skin color is no longer yellow. They have actually evolved to cartoon skin tone. But they still have four fingers.
Our ultimate goal is to stay in business. We are not here with a specific plan. That’s kind of how our entire career has evolved. We will figure things out as we go along.
I usually dislike second books in series. The only second installment I ever loved was ‘The Empire Strikes Back,’ and I think that was wonderful because it evolved the characters while not seeming like a bridge.
In many ways, products are a reflection of their founders, and I consider myself a geek. But aside from that, Imgur just organically evolved into the epicenter of geek culture.
Aside from birthing me my first grey hairs and keeping me up at night more times than I’d like to count, ‘The Subtle Art’ taught me a lot about the nature of work. And a lot of that had to do with how my perception of the work itself evolved over the course of writing the book.
My style has evolved in a nice way, but everyone has bad moments.
Once upon a time, the homemaker was just Mom, but now we’ve evolved and come to a place where we’re celebrating grandmas, grandpas, moms, dads – all the people that keep it safe and clean for our kids – and the overall health for ourselves so we can continue to function and do the variety of things we all do.
The fact that life evolved out of nearly nothing, some 10 billion years after the universe evolved out of literally nothing, is a fact so staggering that I would be mad to attempt words to do it justice.
I think we were colonized by aliens 250,000 years ago, and they genetically altered our DNA to be primates into homo erectus and humans. I’m very interested in how we evolved so suddenly, which obviously ties in with the alien thing.
The very large brain that humans have, plus the things that go along with it – language, art, science – seemed to have evolved only once. The eye, by contrast, independently evolved 40 times. So, if you were to ‘replay’ evolution, the eye would almost certainly appear again, whereas the big brain probably wouldn’t.
I want people to say, ‘He evolved throughout his whole career.’ I wanna be able to have the most number one records ever. The most Top 10 records ever.
As this body of knowledge has evolved, a much more critical job for researchers and scientists has evolved into explaining and educating policy makers and the public to the risks of global warming and the possible consequences of action or of no action.
Rebecca Black might sing like a robot, but that’s just proof she has evolved beyond us. Her vocal is just a slightly exaggerated version of the robot glitch-twitch stutter that’s been mainstream pop vocalese for the past 10 years or so.
Online transactions, once relegated to leaps of faith, have evolved into our status quo. We no longer ask ourselves whether or not it’s wise to buy online. Instead, we ask whether or not it’s wise to deal with a particular person, service provider, or business.
My own thinking has evolved. You find Africanisms in American speech. You find an African influence on United States culture. There are all kinds of Africanisms in America, as you would expect, if you really thought about it… That whole thing is much broader; the influence is much broader than I first understood.
I’m working relentlessly at becoming a better fighter than I was yesterday. I think I’ve really shown that I’m a more evolved fighter these days than I’ve ever been.
Evolution isn’t true, because if we evolved from monkeys, how can they still be here?
There are a few entrepreneurs whom I look up to. My dad, Ralph Lauren, has definitely evolved into a lifestyle brand of clothing and home furnishings.
The invention of email evolved from a challenge to solve a real world problem.
The phone is one hundred, one hundred and ten years old. There was a middle period where the government had a broad ability to surveil, but if you look at human history in total, people evolved and civilizations evolved with private conversations and private speech.
Our generation grew up with technology. It evolved as we grew up. This new generation has had it since they were babies. That’s crazy. It fundamentally changes they way they understand and think about technology. They’ve never known life without it, whereas we knew life without the Internet.
Firstly, ‘Dance plus’ is the only dance reality show in India with an entire panel of captains who rose to fame through their dancing skills. The show will introduce audiences to new trends and evolved dance forms through solo, duo, and group performers.
The wrestling that I grew up on was this; it was NXT. Definitely not the athleticism factor or the in-ring factor – that’s evolved tremendously. But the storytelling part of it, that’s what grew up on.
Football hasn’t got better, it has just evolved, from the ball to the boots to the shirts to the training methods – everything around them.
As a kid, I used to sit there and figure out how to play everybody’s song, and through learning all those songs I learned how to put chords together, and it evolved till I could say, ‘Hey, I just wrote that.’
We evolved to make sense of this nonlinear and unpredictable world with stories. These stories are often very powerful.
Some of the recipes in the book have evolved for us. Many haven’t.
It evolved out of the idea to make a kids TV show. And it actually turned out to be a bit dull and a bit regulated and too many people looking over your shoulder and it wasn’t really.
The Premier League benefits from foreigners, and the game’s evolved in a way that’s beneficial, but you can’t lose the roots of the English game.
My career has evolved at its own peculiar pace. American careers are supposed to have a much more singular direction than I’ve been able to… stomach.
I love the way this sport has evolved and impacted every segment of society. Now you have cross training and weight training in every sport and from middle school kids to senior citizens.
