Ants and beavers create the soil, and replenish water. Nature puts limits on damage, but for our damage she can only provide natural consequences.

Humans evolve, not linearly. We, like all DNA are programmed to replicate--you already know this--

And, the line between us and other animals is mostly cerebral, not actual. We need food, water, soil and more, we just justify taking more than our share and fouling our nest.

good dialogue.
