Human induced climate change is the most serious problem confronting the ecology of our planet. 听Was this an inevitable consequence of the appearance of humans in the ecosystem? 听How should we think about how we got to this terrifying state, and how can we think hopefully about the future? 听Anthropologists who study the emergence of homo sapiens present an account of our origins that engages in intriguing ways with the Israelite reflections on human origins in Genesis 1-11. 听Here is a conversation between religion and science that offers true insight into how our unique nature is both a danger and a promise in this fragile world.
