Final Example: Homo-Sapiens the most invasive species. We are taught to be selfless, but never to the earth that gives us life. Must we always take, or can we give some back? "Soon a millennium will end. With it will pass four billion years of evolutionary exuberance. Yes, some species will survive, particularly the smaller, tenacious ones living in places far too dry and cold for us to farm or graze. Yet we must face the fact that Cenozoic, the Age of the Mammals which has been in retreat since the catastrophic extinctions of the late Pleistocene is over, and that the Anthropozoic or Catastrophozoic has begun." -Michael Soule (1996)
