This quote is less famous, so it may be more difficult.

    THEY'RE REPEATING THE WHOLE HISTORY OF THE HUMAN RACE.  There's
    nothing in the world more fascinating than watching a child grow and
    develop.  At first you think of it as just a matter of growing bigger.
    Then, as the infant begins to do things, you may think of it as
    "learning tricks."  But it's really more complicated and full of
    meaning than that.  The development of each child retraces the whole
    history of the human race, physically and spiritually, step by step.
    Babies start off in the womb as a single tiny cell, just the way the
    first living thing apeared in the ocean.  Weeks later, as they lie in
    the amniotic fluid in the womb, they have gills like fish.  Toward the
    end of the first year of life, when they learn to clamber to their
    feet, they're celebrating that period millions of years ago when our
    ancestors got up off all fours.  It's just at that time that babies
    are learning to use their fingers with skill and delicacy.  Our
    ancestors stood up because they had found more useful things to do
    with their hands than walking on them.
