[QUOTE="cloudyday2, post: 75256731, member: 311563"] Lately it occurred to me that humans evolved WITHIN an environment, and now we have mostly removed ourselves from that environment. Humans and the plants and animals and behaviors evolved concurrently in a symbiotic relationship. Humans are harming both ourselves and the entire ecosystem by abandoning our hunter-gatherer role. Take psychoactive plants as an example. Many of these plants act-on specific receptors in the human brain. It is as though the human brain evolved to better experience the plant along with the plant evolving to better stimulate the human brain. How many other plants and animals are like that? We are only recently beginning to understand the role of gut flora in human health - both physical AND psychological. I read an article recently about romance positing that it is actually the bacteria in our guts that spark the romantic attraction. During a kiss the bacteria in our saliva can decide if they are a good match and then stimulate their host humans to fall madly in love. ... How romantic LOL So humans belong in the environments where they evolved. It is better for the humans and better for the plants and animals and bacteria. Of course "better" probably plays no role in evolution unless there is an intelligence of some kind involved in nature. [/QUOTE]
