Michael Pollan esitab taime vaatenurga

Mis siis, kui inimteadvus polegi Darwinismi ülim tipp? Võibolla oleme me ainult etturid maisi kavalas strateegias tõusta Maa valitsejaks? Kirjanik Michael Pollan palub meil vaadata maailma taime vaatenurgast.

Human beings see themselves as nature’s masters, but plants and other species have evolved strategies to manipulate us for their own survival. A potato or an apple tree can shape our behavior just as much as we shape theirs, enlisting us to spread their genes and create habitats for them. On a farm in Virginia, cows and chickens create a dance of mutual benefit that results in more food and richer soil by season's end. Rethinking nature from this perspective reveals that our actions can actually enhance, not diminish, the world around us.
