The forester leaves those branches which he perceives to be excellent, whilst he cuts away all others. The bees kill those of their kind who only eat, but do not work in their beehive. &lt;b&gt;Nature proceeds in a similar way; however, it does not distinguish for its action is under all circumstances one and the same. It allows the leaves and fruit of the trees to perish, thus preventing them from realising that result which they are intended to produce in the economy of nature.&lt;/b&gt; It removes them so as to make room for others.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or probably Khawaja Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn Hasan Tūsī which wrote in the 13th century.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;quot;The organisms that can gain the new features faster are more variable. As a result, they gain advantages over other creatures. The bodies are changing as a result of the internal and external interactions.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Look at the world of animals and birds. They have all that is necessary for defense, protection and daily life, including strengths, courage and appropriate tools [organs] Some of these organs are real weapons,  For example, horns-spear, teeth and claws-knife and needle, feet and hoofs-cudgel. The thorns and needles of some animals are similar to arrows. Animals that have no other means of defense (as the gazelle and fox) protect themselves with the help of flight and cunning. [Some of them, for example, bees, ants and some bird species, have united in communities in order to protect themselves and help each other.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;quot;Such humans probably live in the Western Sudan and other distant corners of the world. They are close to animals by their habits, deeds and behavior.  The human has features that distinguish him from other creatures, but he has other features that unite him with the animal world, vegetable kingdom or even with the inanimate bodies.&amp;quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe many people are not familiar with Al-Biruni, Al-Jahiz or Nasir al-Din but I&amp;#39;m pretty sure many people have heard of Inbu Khaldun, who wrote in his &lt;b&gt;Muqaddimah &lt;/b&gt;(written 1337) which stated :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;This world with all the created things in it has a certain order and solid construction. It shows nexuses between causes and things caused, combinations of some parts of creation with others, and transformations of some existent things into others, in a pattern that is both remarkable and endless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;One should then take a look at the world of creation. It started out from the minerals and progressed, in an ingenious, gradual manner, to plants and animals. The last stage of minerals is connected with the first stage of plants, such as herbs and seedless plants. The last stage of plants, such as palms and vines, is connected with the first stage of animals, such as snails and shellfish which have only the power of touch. The word &amp;#39;connection&amp;#39; with regard to these created things means that the last stage of each group is fully prepared to become the first stage of the newest group.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The animal world then widens, its species become numerous, and, in a gradual process of creation, it finally leads to man, who is able to think and reflect. The higher stage of man is reached from the world of monkeys, in which both sagacity and perception are found, but which has not reached the stage of actual reflection and thinking. At this point we come to the first stage of man. This is as far as our (physical) observation extends.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We explained there that the whole of existence in (all) its simple and composite worlds is arranged in a natural order of ascent and descent, so that everything constitutes an uninterrupted continuum. The essences at the end of each particular stage of the worlds are by nature prepared to be transformed into the essence adjacent to them, either above or below them. This is the case with the simple material elements; it is the case with palms and vines, (which constitute) the last stage of plants, in their relation to snails and shellfish, (which constitute) the (lowest) stage of animals. It is also the case with monkeys, creatures combining in themselves cleverness and perception, in their relation to man, the being who has the ability to think and to reflect. The preparedness (for transformation) that exists on either side, at each stage of the worlds, is meant when (we speak about) their connection.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Plants do not have the same fineness and power that animals have. Therefore, the sages rarely turned to them. Animals are the last and final stage of the three permutations. Minerals turn into plants, and plants into animals, but animals cannot turn into anything finer than themselves.&lt;/i&gt;</description>
