Environment and civilization

Our modern civilization is not the first to put the natural environment at risk. Archaeology tells us that many of the most “advanced” ethnic groups have self-destructed as a result of overexploitation.

Is this situation intrinsically linked to the human condition and development of any culture? Would it not be possible to define a form of civilization that satisfies our natural aspirations while preserving the environment? Why and how do we coexist in a culture its benefits and its misdeeds, its acquisitions and illusions, its creative aspects and its morbid aspects? Are environmental factors the same as those that affect the physical or mental health of individuals?

It is to these fundamental questions that human ecogenetics attempts to provide answers based on an objective and rational approach to the relationship between man and nature. This by not falling into reductionism: it would be proud to imagine us all knowing about the universe and about ourselves!
