Natural World vs. Human World
I found this aspect in the book to be very interesting. When I think of the natural world vs the human world, it makes me feel like instead of us adapting to the land, we make the land adapt to us. I guess a good example of this is how over time we have domesticated the dog, which was once a wolf. This process went as followed: take scraps from tribes, become less afraid of humans, breed with some type of wolve, become a different type of wolf=overtime a dog. We have also done this wtih other animals by creating them into a domestic animal which is only for eating. All of things are changes that define the difference in the natural world and the human world. We take away the natural instincts of things to fit our scheduled lives. When I think about it, I kind of feel like crap actually. I mean, I feel like creatures of the earth should not have a limit, and neither should we in a sense. We should all be free and allowed to explore our own natural instincts. I wonder how that would look, haha....but its interesting to ponder and think about.
