Gaia and Hunting and Gathering

In Hesiod poem Theogony, his main character is Gaia. This story reflects on the Greek gods and they came to be. Gaia is seen as the mother to all life. According to Hesiod she had many partners including her own son and with these she bore many off springs creating the various amounts and types of life that came to be on the earth.

In Jared Diamond's article he reflects on the way that agriculture has changed our lives and affecting us for the worst. He suggests that we do not see our resources as sacred and we don't view them as important because we are not the ones having to hunt and gather our resources instead we rely on agriculture to give us our food and therefore we have no connection to what we are doing adn the affects things have on the Earth.
