# Human Animal Quotation Queue — 2026-09-12 Intake of the 200 numbered quotation candidates in the user-supplied `Human Animal.md`. This queue records the document’s source leads and editorial labels as **candidates**, not verified authorial wording, settled scientific conclusions, approved Reminder categories, or Bryant’s position. It does not reproduce or change the original document. **Candidates:** 200. **New production Reminders:** 9. **Covered by another promoted sentence:** 4. **Awaiting original-source checks:** 186. **Earlier production matches:** 0. **Unverified archive matches:** 1. **Internal repeated spans:** 0. **Embedded or multiple quoted spans:** 84. **First 100 open-candidate triage (HA-003–HA-104, excluding the previously published HA-006 and HA-081):** covered_by_same_complete_object: 3; defer_primary_source_and_standalone_check: 18; hold_fragment_or_dependent_clause: 55; hold_overlap_or_missing_qualification: 18; published_complete_source_checked_object: 6. These are editorial outcomes for 100 candidate spans, **not 100 new quotations** or 100 completed original-source verifications. Pending and held rows retain their original verification state; see each row for the disposition and source lead. The packet’s twelve proposed thematic labels are useful discovery metadata, not twelve new production folders. Promote by a complete proposition and original context; a study-abstract fragment or source-page claim cannot become a poster without its subject, qualifiers, comparison class, and evidentiary scope. A historical or theoretical statement is not a measured universal property of every human. This source intersects the existing evolution, civilization, cybernetics, and machine-succession routes through the question of what human institutions and technologies amplify or restrain. ## Candidate inventory ### HA-001 — Jane Goodall > “Only humans are capable of true evil.” - **Intake:** promoted. - **Packet theme / type:** Cruelty / Evil / Statement. - **Candidate form:** single_quoted_span. - **Promoted Reminder:** [[reminders/Human Animality/Only Humans Can Plan Evil Knowing the Harm by Jane Goodall|Only Humans Can Plan Evil Knowing the Harm by Jane Goodall]]. - **Source lead:** https://www.whyarewehere.tv/people/jane-goodall/ - **Verification:** original source checked; see the Reminder for the complete published wording and contextual boundaries. - **Editorial note:** The short packet item was combined with HA-002 into the complete sentence printed above the original interview transcript. ### HA-002 — Jane Goodall > “We can deliberate and do it, knowing the harm we’re inflicting.” - **Intake:** covered_by_promotion. - **Packet theme / type:** Cruelty / Evil / Statement. - **Candidate form:** single_quoted_span. - **Promoted Reminder:** [[reminders/Human Animality/Only Humans Can Plan Evil Knowing the Harm by Jane Goodall|Only Humans Can Plan Evil Knowing the Harm by Jane Goodall]]. - **Source lead:** https://www.whyarewehere.tv/people/jane-goodall/ - **Verification:** original source checked; see the Reminder for the complete published wording and contextual boundaries. - **Editorial note:** Second half of HA-001’s complete interview statement, not a second standalone Reminder. ### HA-003 — Jane Goodall > “We can be, and often are, extremely brutal and aggressive.” - **Intake:** queued_source_check. - **Batch editorial decision:** hold_overlap_or_missing_qualification. - **Packet theme / type:** Primate Violence / Statement. - **Candidate form:** single_quoted_span. - **Source lead:** https://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/03192010/transcript1.html - **Verification:** original wording, context, and attribution pending before production promotion. - **Editorial note:** Overlaps a stronger complete object or loses a source qualification; consider only after a separate original-source check. ### HA-004 — Jane Goodall > “Human beings can sit, and think, and plan deliberate torture.” - **Intake:** queued_source_check. - **Batch editorial decision:** hold_fragment_or_dependent_clause. - **Packet theme / type:** Cruelty / Evil / Statement. - **Candidate form:** single_quoted_span. - **Source lead:** https://tim.blog/2020/05/13/jane-goodall-transcript/ - **Verification:** original wording, context, and attribution pending before production promotion. - **Editorial note:** The supplied span is an incomplete or context-dependent quotation object.
