  Recall from the previous chapter that 
  to do science (and other nice things) 
  requires survival t not the other way 
  around?

Uh, what?

I don't understand that sentence? Is "survival t" a typographical error?

After reading this and a few other sentences, i came to the conclusion that this article was machine written and stopped reading.

I believe the t is meant to be a comma. The author is saying that you can potentially survive without science, but you can't do science if you're dead.

Correct
