That means that everything we have ever known as a species, the evolution of the human animal, the development of agriculture, the development of rudimentary civilization and modern civilization and industrial civilization, everything we know about ourselves as biological creatures, as social creatures, as political creatures, all of it is the result of climate conditions we have already left behind.
To znači da sve što znamo kao vrsta, evolucija ljudske životinje, razvoj agrikulture, razvoj rudimentarnih civilizacija te moderna i industrijska civilizacija, sve što znamo o sebi kao biološkim bićima, kao društvenim i političkim bićima, sve je rezultat klimatskih uvjeta koji su već iza nas.
