When performed the human types turn against the planet that we rely upon for survival? Real human industry and utilization of resources have changed the weather, polluted the water and soil, ruined ecosystems, and rendered many types extinct, significantly increasing the probability of an ecological catastrophe. How performed humankind come to rule character to such an extent? To respect the planet's resources and animals as ours for the taking? To find ourselves over a seemingly relentless route toward ecocide? In After Eden, Kirkpatrick Deal answers these questions in a radically new way. Integrating research in paleontology, archaeology, and anthropology, he tips to the start of big-game hunting as the origin of Homo sapiens' estrangement from the natural world. Deal contends a new, recognizably modern individual culture based on the hunting of large family pets developed in Africa some 70,000 years ago in response to a brutal plunge in worldwide temperature triggered by an enormous volcanic explosion in Asia. Tracing the migration of populations and the development of hunting a large number of years forward in time, he demonstrates hunting became progressively more adversarial in relation to the environment as people fought over scarce prey during Europe's glacial period between 35,000 and 10,000 years ago. By the finish of that age, humans' proven fact that these were the superior types on earth, absolve to exploit other types toward their own ends, was more developed.
