Think that our ancient ancestors were “one” with nature? That they were the original proponents of green living?

It’s crap.

Those damn cavemen were just as nasty and destructive as their descendants.

Stone Age humans in fact wiped out many animal species in places as varied as the mountains of New Zealand and the plains of North America.

I can’t help but feel that we’ll soon be getting our comeuppance one of these days.
