(Our Political Nature: The Evolutionary Origins of What Divides Us)
This quotation shows that man has always had a serious effect on the environment. And that indigenous peoples did not necessarily have a harmonious relationship with nature. A few did, just like some modern humans do, but most did not then as most of us do not now.
Our Political Nature: The Evolutionary Origins of What Divides Us is a 2013 book by Avi Tuschman. It proposed an evolutionary theory of human political orientation. The book theorizes that political leanings are evolutionary adaptations that arise primarily from three clusters of measurable personality traits: tribalism, tolerance of inequality, and perceptions of human nature. As evidence, Our Political Nature synthesizes studies from the fields of political science, genetics, neuroscience, and primatology. The book also offers a psychological explanation for why economic stress tends to broaden the divide between political factions.
