I'll have to report it as a UFQ (Unidentified Flying Quote).

Gentlemen:
The quote you seek:

"Within this evolutionary relationship it is possible to see that intellect has 
functions that predate science and philosophy. The intellect's evolutionary 
purpose has never been to discover an ultimate meaning of the universe. That Is 
a relatively recent fad. Its historical purpose has been to help a society find 
food, detect danger, and defeat enemies." (Lila, 24)
