Humanity has evolved by specific events, after the Ice Age was discovered by a woman the ideal way to surrender wheat. Transforming agriculture as we know it today.
Then the Romans in a mixture with brick dust and volcanic ash, created concrete. Transforming the world and being used today.
Among other important events ... everything came to its time.
But nature is different, it gets damaged and "ages". The hand of man, like the industries, makes him break in it. Transforming the terrain with climatic, atmospheric and terrestrial events.
The new anthropocene era many say began just after the Industrial Revolution, but some think it was when the mother farmer began, that is to say when she started agriculture 8mil years ago.
If we are in the Anthropocene as they say, a global extinction would be coming.
I really like this kind of topics, I love history. Greetings!
