II. Historical Perspective on Human-Biotic Interactions - Coggle Diagram
Overview:
- Humans have always interacted with biotic elements, evolving strategies for survival, adaptation, and social organization. In the past, these relationships were based on direct survival (e.g., hunting, gathering, agriculture).
Topics and Subtopics:
- Shift from hunting-gathering to agriculture (plant and animal domestication).
- Development of farming techniques, crop cultivation, and livestock management.
- Prehistoric Times (Hunter-Gatherers)
- Interaction with wild flora and fauna for food, shelter, and medicine.
- Early domestication of plants and animals.
- Industrial Revolution and Biotic Exploitation
- Impact of the industrial revolution on ecosystems: deforestation, mass farming, livestock breeding, and biotic resource extraction.
- The emergence of human-driven environmental changes (pollution, land-use changes).
- Early Civilizations and Biotic Resources
- Establishment of gardens, plantations, and forests for resource management.
- Ancient cultures (e.g., Egyptians, Mesopotamians, Chinese) and their use of biotic resources for food, medicine, textiles, and trade.
