PB:
I think, for  better or worse, humankind parted ways with "Nature"
several  hundred years ago.

AL:
This sounds very much like "special pleading" We would need to
understand how we "parted ways", to put us apart from the rest of
nature.

PB:
It is just my opinion. I know the moderators don't want us to get
into an extended discussion about evolution, so I propose we drop it.
As far as understanding the parting of ways, I would recommend "The
End of Nature" by Bill McKibben, to anyone who wants to ponder the
issue.
