There is increasing awareness of the effect humans have on their environment, as well as of the necessary steps to limit or reverse damage; and there is increasing concern about Mass Extinction and Global Warming . Pessimists argue that it is too late to avert ecological catastrophe; optimists argue that the ever more-rapid progress of science and technology will provide solutions.

Of all the recent scientific discoveries, of ''Homo sapiens'' himself.
