Michael Pollan: マイケル・ポーランが植物の視点から語る

マイケル・ポーランが植物の視点から語る

もし人間の意識は、ダーウィ二ズムの究極かつ最大の目的などではないとしたら？　もし私達人間はトウモロコシの世界征服戦略の手先にすぎないとしたら？　作家マイケル ポーランは植物の視点から世界を見ることを推奨します。

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.
