Life

If the Earth had formed a year ago, on January 1, life would have appeared on February 26, dinosaurs would have arrived on December 10 to vanish 16 days later, and Homo sapiens would only have showed up very late on December 31.

A few minutes later, in less than one minute, man would have drastically altered the fragile balance between land, seas and atmosphere.


Humanity is on the march, earth itself is left behind.


David Ehrenfeld, The Arrogance of Humanism, 1978
