Is man an alien to this earth? Is he an outsider to the natural order of things? I don't think so. When we can accept the true nature of our biological environment, the violent insistence of the life force, its overwhelming avalanche-like fecundity, the single-mindedness of its drive to prevail, its natural opportunisim and propensity to exploitation, then we can see that humankind is an organic part of the whole. That nature evolved the conscious mind and the tool-making hand to satisfy that pernicious drive to find an advantage, to succeed, to survive.
