Description
The natural world is a dynamic and ever-evolving system. Yet, over the course of history, human activity has introduced a new, unprecedented force of change. From agriculture to genetic engineering, we have redefined the very processes that drive evolution. This book explores how we, as a species, have not only adapted to our environment but have become a central influence in shaping the evolutionary trajectories of other organisms. With our technologies, industries, and scientific advancements, we stand at the threshold of a new era in evolutionary historyโone where we are not just passive observers, but active participants. It is this paradox, where human agency intersects with nature’s forces, that we will explore in the chapters that follow.
