0. Summary

homonides starting to walk and homo sapiens sapiens getting back on its tracks...

The stone age, 200,000 years before present: Homonides starting to walk.
Modern Times: Homo Sapiens Sapiens getting back on its tracks... The cause is very easy: When too many people consume too much stuff, many times faster than nature can regenerate, the resources get depleted: Modernity lives off solar energy stocks that took 300 million years to be accumulated. Modern technology and motorized mobility are depleting these stocks irreversibly withing 300 years. The post-peak oil downslope will start any time soon. At the end of the downslope lies a totally devastated planet - without humans.
