For millions of years all life on earth -- plants, insects, mammals, fish, birds, amphibians and humans -- evolved with the diurnal cycles of day and night.
In the night, largely unseen by humans, life flourishes: animals mate, they pollinate plants, feed and live out their lives in the cover of darkness.

This has been a common heritage for all humans. Copy article link
