Dinosaurs and great reptiles did notlppear until one year ago, when-the planet of forty- five' Mammals only arrivea-eight months ago In tlhe middle of last week, man- like apes became ape- like men and began to communicate with each other Last weekend, the Ice Age covered the Earth
Modern man has only been around for four hours During the last hour man discovered
agriculture The industrial Revolution and the rise of large cities began just sixty seconds ago
During that short time, modern man has made a rubbish tip of the Earth' In one minute, he has increased his numbers to terrible proportions, and has caused the death of hundreds of species of animals He has robbed and destroyed the planet in his search of fuels Now he stands, like a violent, spoilt child, delighted at the speed of nir rise to power, on the edge of the final mass destruction and of
