human / nature

I've been studying ecology for about a decade, and watching nature shows all my life. You must be impressed with the intensity of natural innovation; every organism, population, and species is innovating in ways that will give it an edge.

Humans are doing that as well, but unfortunately we have no competetor nearly as resourceful as we are, so we're driving ourselves over some edge.

Does one answer lie in being less 'natural' and doing less: less innovation, less disruption, less territoriality?
