Courses of millennia

Major environmental changes begin mainly with agriculture and livestock. These great changes date back to the early days of the Neolithic period, between 11,000 and 3,000 years B.C.E. in different parts of the world. The markers of this real revolution are mainly polished stone outils, pottery and domestication of animal and plant species (cereals).

Human ecogenetics takes into account all the changes introduced by man, without neglecting the conquest of fire, much older (about 400,000 years). Each of the human inventions that have settled in tradition and today constitute our civilization must be questioned as to their effects on the environment, but also as to the influences that they may have exerted directly or indirectly on human psychism and our behaviour.

These innovations have led to significant cultural changes, perhaps by developing intelligence through diversification and rationalisation of the education of young people. However, they may cause mental dysfunctions (nevrose, paranoia, perversion, feelings of inferiority, depression, distortion of the world’s or self’s image, etc.) with their impact on human behaviour, and the effet-pervers of these altered behaviour on the environment.
