Excerpt from the book:

Suppose you, as a species, have lived on the grass veldt or the bush veldt for the past hundred thousand years or so. In that time you have acquired a considerable experience of a valuable nature, which has enabled you to save your collective skin from a great variety of constant dangers. Individually, you do not always succeed, to be sure, but as a whole you have the thing down pretty fine; as witness the multitudes of you abroad in the land.
This wisdom of experience is not only fairly effective, but it has tended to refine itself to the point of utmost utility. Thus you will expend any amount of nervous energy in alertness during the night hours in order to keep clear of even a shadow that might look like a lion; but you trouble to do little more than move aside a few yards when in daylight the lion himself passes. You are extremely skittish at the remotest sight of a pair of rounded ears that might belong to the biggest of the bats—or to a wild dog; but you hardly lift your contemptuous nose from grazing when a beast three times as big as a grand piano snorts ill temper and defiance at you for no reason at all except that since prehistoric times he has nourished a congenital grouch. You hardly bother to glance at the most awesome appearances as long as in them your quickened and observant eye catches no faintest hint of movement; but you will without inquiry depart precipitately from the choicest feed or the sweetest water if any one or anything anywhere makes an unidentified hasty motion. It does not matter how young and foolish is the any one who so moves, or how far away that anywhere is. Hasty motions, you have discovered by centuries of observation, are in many cases the heralds of danger; and at even a hint of danger it is better to act first and inquire afterward. With you the cry-of-wolf fable has little if any weight. Better respond to a thousand false alarms than be eaten by the one true one.
