Ever since the day when the first primitive Human ancestor stood up on two legs and surveyed the world which would one day belong to His descendants, Man has been struggling to control his environment.
Nature has ever been a source of conflict and danger.
Competition with other animals for food was the key to avoiding extinction. To eat and not be eaten, has always been a primary rule for survival. Becoming a skilled hunter was important. Developing the skills to avoid becoming the prey was a good idea. Life is much easier if you live at the top of the food chain. Humanity learned to insulate itself from some of the ravages of nature. Animal skins, and other types of clothing. helped Man to adapt to more extremes of nature. The Human Animal has always been inventive, utilizing the bounty of Nature to elevate Himself over other competing species. Caves and trees as safe havens for shelter. Bodies of water as boundry’s and barriers for protection, as well as a means of transportation.. Sticks and rocks made effective weapons in the hands of an upright biped with a moveable thumb .With the evolution of expanding brain capacity, Humanity became the dominant species on the Planet and was able to excert more and more control of His environment. As his consciousness grew, Man began to develop an awareness of himself as an individual entity in relationship to his peers as well as to the natural environment which was his home.
