  1. Khan wasn’t trying to create a world in his image; his fiercest instincts had a mind of their own, and his savage personality spurred them on. Most people don’t run amok on murderous sprees, thank heavens, but history is awash with Khan-like wars and mayhem. In their wake, gene pools often change. One can only surmise that wiping out the genes of others and planting your own (what we call genocide) must come naturally to our kind, as it does to some other animals, from ants to lions.
