'[When] this Stone dies or consumes it doth not therefore go to nothing but by the means of [...] multifarious changes [...] is still working on towards perfection [so that] when it dies also it brings forth by means of another new birth [in] divers Herbs Trees & creeping Things' (F.M. Van Helmont).

The new species of cars – their colors offend me.
The hues themselves are lurid.
Moreover the fabrication makes them not only shiny but also multifarious.
Yes, a forest has different shades of green.
But when a single car has different shades of the same color, I find it excessive & repellent.

"Symons’ argument is that, from an evolutionary perspective, human behavior is interesting less in its own right than as a window on a relatively uniform and multifarious evolved mental 'anatomy'"
