"Within this evolutionary relationship it is possible to see that intellect has 
functions that predate science and philosophy. The intellect's evolutionary 
purpose has never been to discover an ultimate meaning of the universe. That Is 
a relatively recent fad. Its historical purpose has been to help a society find 
food, detect danger, and defeat enemies." (Lila, 24)

No we weren't looking for a quote that says
thinking about food comes before thinking about Philosophy.
