Splitting and gradual divergence of genera is exemplified very well and in a large variety of organisms. -- George Gaylord Simpson
The close relationship between railroad expansion and the genera development and prosperity of the country is nowhere brought more distinctly into relief than in connection with the construction of the Pacific railroads. -- John Moody
Is it philosophical, is it quite allowable, to assume without evidence from fossil plants that the family or any of the genera was once larger and wide spread? and occupied a continuous area? -- Asa Gray
I accept extinction as best explaining disjoined species. I see that the same cause must have reduced many species of great range to small, and that it may have reduced large genera to so small, and of families. -- Asa Gray
Every paleontologist knows that most new species, genera, and families, and that nearly all categories above the level of family appear in the record suddenly and are not led up to by known, gradual, completely continuous transitional sequences. -- George Gaylord Simpson
People began to understand that with the acquisition of California the nation had obtained practically half a continent, of which the future possibilities were almost unlimited, so far as the development of natural resources and the genera production of wealth were concerned. -- John Moody
Botany is based on fixed genera. -- Carl Linnaeus
The names of the plants ought to be stable [certa], consequently they should be given to stable genera. -- Carl Linnaeus

God is not related to creatures as though belonging to a different "genus," but as transcending every "genus," and as the principle of all "genera. -- Thomas Aquinas
Established species are evolving so slowly that major transitions between genera and higher taxa must be occurring within small rapidly evolving populations that leave NO LEGIBLE FOSSIL RECORD. -- Steven M. Stanley
The idea that one can go to the fossil record and expect to empirically recover an ancestor-descendant sequence, be it of species, genera, families, or whatever, has been, and continues to be, a pernicious illusion. -- Gareth J. Nelson
