Some years ago I read or heard a *scientist's statment that,
"other civilizations may be advanced over us, as we are over the earthworm.."*It may have been Sagen or Friedman?

It’s familiar — possibly a *character* in a sci-fi novel, but I haven’t read that many; could be something said by J. Allen Hynek, who was more of a scientist than many who have claimed to be.

It sounds more like Arthur C. Clarke?
