First Writing Assignment

Our ever changing, repeating history started with an explosion which led to the creation of our earth 4.5 Billion years ago, life submerged as unicellular organisms 3 billion years ago and have evolved from there. There have 5 mass extinctions, millions of life lost and formed all before humans came to their form as homo sapien sapien just about 250,000 years ago. As time moves from chimpanzees to homo erectus to our nomadic homo sapiens, humans learned to move as their food and climate did. early advancements included learning to farm and raising/domesticating animals.These advancements helped our ancestors live long enough for advancements in technology and life. At the end of the Ice Age life the environment became more diverse due to the more comfortable nature of the climate. This lead to our nomads beginning to settle down and our first societies and civilizations are born. Free of tyranny and inequality. Women were seen as equal and actually brought in more to the homes than males. The newly settled nomads have now began to interact with each other, the end result being an increased use of the environment which opened a world of new advancements.

Since I lack a bunch of historical knowledge this information was fascinating to me. One thing that did not surprise me was that nomadic people still had things like male competition (even to death) women abuse(sexually and physically) and the most important to me; deforestation. Since the beginning of human reign we have been known to destroy life and plant life with ease. Even homo erectus who killed plantlife with fire.Being known for being the cause of death in our planet baffles me because our species have been here for the shortest. I guess being at the top of the food chain and being the most advanced in the kingdom allows for us to destroy as we please. I'm curious to see if later on our earliest civilizations try and address deforestation but i honestly doubt it the earth will find ways to replenish itself just like had in any of the other mass extinctions the question is will we do anything to make sure humans survive?
