1. There are more than just human beings who write world history.
Since my son was three and a half years old, I have taken him to read various popular science books. From these books, I learned about the wonders of the world’s species. The more I understand the vastness of this world, the more I feel the insignificance of human beings. Putting aside blind pride, in fact, many animal qualities are worth learning from us humans.
We humans are able to interfere with the earth's ecology by controlling other species. In the long run, it will do no harm but no good.
Various evil consequences are revealed. It’s time to humble ourselves and reflect.
Read the book "A Brief History of the World of 50 Animals". We have to admit that the writers of world history are not limited to humans.
As the common masters of the earth, what difficulties have these animals encountered in their long evolutionary process? After the emergence of humans, how closely did they have contact with humans? These are all issues discussed in "A Brief History of the World of 50 Animals".
2. "A Brief History of the World of 50 Animals"
As a member of the entire living world, we humans were actually born relatively recently. Compared with humans, there are more animals. They have lived on the earth for hundreds of millions of years. As the earth changes, they themselves have also undergone great changes.
is full of natural curiosity about life, which is a vigorous force. I like to explore the mysteries of life with my children, which brings me closer to the true meaning of life.
"A Brief History of the World of 50 Animals" is very valuable because it brings us a new perspective, starting from the history of animal development and talking about the changes of the earth.
These animals, such as dinosaurs, although they are extinct, they will always live in our hearts. Very young children will discuss dinosaurs very seriously, which is a magical thing. Dogs, pigs, and chickens, these important animal protagonists in people's lives today, have also experienced very complicated growth processes. Over time, different stories about different animals in different regions have spread. For religious and political reasons, some animals are used as totems, representing a spiritual symbol. There are also some animals, and their existence has corrected many human myths. Understanding the development history of these animals can help us humans better find our place. At the same time, if we look at the development of life from a macro perspective, we will discover the magic of the universe.
I am grateful for the earth that nurtures life. We can also feel less resentful because of this. With the advancement of human science and technology, our scientific and technological civilization has also "benefited" various animals. Dolly the Sheep, this is the cloning technology that we were once very familiar with. Now, when it is discussed by humans, it has raised many ethical questions.
There are also some animals that have undergone unexpected evolution under the influence of human trade and industry. Bees are originally beneficial insects, but due to human interference, African killer bees were born that can kill people. There are many more such surprises. Looking at human actions from the perspective of animal reproduction and development, "A Brief History of the World of 50 Animals" helps us better reflect on human behavior.
3. Building a sustainable development relationship
When we humans put aside our pride and prejudices and can look at other species on the earth more humbly, then, perhaps, the relationship between us and other creatures on the earth can also be more harmonious.
If we do not interfere too much with the earth's ecology, and better implement the principle of protection in the relationship between humans and animals, humans and nature, our destiny will be smoother.
Recognizing the insignificance of human beings will help us create better things in life.
The creation we need is not destructive destruction, but better construction.
Building the home we most yearn for should not be at the expense of ending the survival of other living beings. This kind of development is the sustainable development that takes its course.
This short book "A Brief History of the World in 50 Animals" was written by Dr. Jacob F. Field from England. I look forward to the day when my son grows up and we can discuss it again. At that time, we will surely have more exciting life conversations.
