The hardest part of fame and success is adapting to the people around you that's changing. It changes the way people look at you from how they used to look at you.

But from the infective agent's point of view, the virus' point of view, its going to say 'to be more adaptive, maybe I'll switch hosts, and I'll adapt to a system where humans are transferring to each other.' We wouldn't even have a concept of that or a worry of that without Darwin's theory of evolution.
