    And they existed about 2000-1000 years ago. Humans started settling and farming as far back as 10.000-12.000 years ago.

    Of course by then populations have increased tremendously. But in the spirit of the meme that probably wasn’t the best overall course of action, was it?

      We can ignore all the other nomadic tribes doing just as much evil shit as city dwellers throughout history the moment they have the opportunity and means, sure.

      Several mass extinctions have been caused by evolution creating a lifeform that is too successful. The difference between humans and them is that we can recognize we are the problem and consciously adapt.

      Some of us, anyways.

      Regardless, that adaptation won’t be by abandoning agriculture.
