Be that as it may, we may be doomed as a species precisely because of the way in which our complexity arose. Paraphrasing the science writer Philip Ball, nature seems to have activated a time bomb, and our complexity is only a short-term fix.
但是，或许正因为我们的复杂性的产生方式，我们注定要成为人类这个物种。套用科普作家鲍尔（Phillip Ball）的说法，大自然激活了一颗定时炸弹，而我们的复杂性只能短暂地延缓让计时器停摆。
