One of my thoughts after reading this book, which I really agree with. As hunter-gatherers, our ancestors lived as part of nature, taking from it just enough, living in rhythm with nature. But once we started a sedentary lifestyle, once we start agriculture, we are living against the natural order of things. We started playing god. We grow plants where there used to be none, we clear forests, we breed and raise animals, all out of the natural order of things. We have lost touch of living together with nature.
Is what we gained worth what we have lost?
