And agriculture suddenly appeared to me not as an invention, not as a human technology, but as a co-evolutionary development in which a group of very clever species, mostly edible grasses, had exploited us, figured out how to get us to basically deforest the world.
Si dintr-o data agricultura mi-a aparut nu ca o inventie, nu ca o tehnologie umana, cu sa si o dezvoltare co-evolutionara in care un grup de specii extrem de inteligente, majoritatea ierburi comestibile, ne-au exploatat si si-au dat seama cum pot ele de fapt sa ne faca pe noi sa defrisam padurile.
