ABSTRACT
In the not too distant future, it is likely that communication will occur with the remaining few cultures not yet significantly impacted by current technologies. This could cause us to forget that the biological natural selection process, which continues albeit slowly, evolved over millions of years in an environment that has been significantly altered by human beings. Remove the clothes from Hardin’s person and place him/her in the Amazonian rain forest (see Figure 1.1) or Australian desert and it becomes startlingly clear how similar our existence becomes to that of other animals. If you or I had been born under such conditions, we would be so different from the way we are and vice versa for the Colombian or Australian young adult.
