The Earth is a miracle.
Life remains a mystery.
Families of animals form,
united by customs and rituals
that are handed down
through the generations.
Some adapt
to the nature of their pasture
and their pasture adapts to them.
And both gain.
and the tree can blossom again.
In the great adventure
of life on Earth,
every species has a role to play,
every species has its place.
None is futile or harmful.
They all balance out.
And that's where you,
homo sapiens, wise human,
enter the story.
You benefit from a fabulous
bequeathed by the Earth.
You are only 200,000 years old,
but you have changed
the face of the world.
Despite your vulnerability, you have
taken possession of every habitat
and conquered swathes of territory,
like no other species before you.
After 180,000 nomadic years,
and thanks to a more clement climate,
humans settled down.
They no longer depended
on hunting for survival.
They chose to live in wet environments
that abounded in fish,
game and wild plants.
There where land,
water and life combine.
Even today,
the majority of humankind
lives on the continents' coastlines
or the banks of rivers and lakes.
Across the planet,
one person in four
lives as humankind did
their only energy that which nature
It's the way of life
of 1.5 billion people,
more than the combined population
of all the wealthy nations.
But life expectancy is short
and hard labor takes its toll.
The uncertainties of nature
weigh on daily life.
Education is a rare privilege.
Children are a family's only asset
as long as every extra pair of hands
is a necessary contribution
to its subsistence.
Humanity's genius
is to have always had a sense
of its weakness.
The physical strength, with which
nature insufficiently endowed humans,
is found in animals that help them
to discover new territories.
But how can you conquer the world
on an empty stomach?
The invention of agriculture
turned our history on end.
It was less than 10,000 years ago.
Agriculture
was our first great revolution.
It resulted in the first surpluses
and gave birth to cities
and civilizations.
The memory of thousands of years
scrabbling for food faded.
Having made grain the yeast of life,
we multiplied the number of varieties
to our soils and climates.
We are like every species on Earth.
is to feed ourselves.
When the soil is less than generous
we are able
to deploy prodigious efforts to extract
from the land
enough to live on.
Humans shaped the land with the patience
