About Human and Planet Health

Who is the presumed

Our media are now filled with ldquojazzed uprdquo

images of Earth ldquosciencerdquohellip

(Beware The ldquoGeekrdquo to ldquoGururdquo Syndrome)

Who is the presumed

ldquooperatorrdquo

Our media are now filled with ldquojazzed uprdquo

images of Earth ldquosciencerdquohellip

Who is the presumed

ldquooperatorrdquo

But who is the presumed ldquooperatorrdquo

here

Who is the presumed

ldquooperatorrdquo

Are we part of a large and complex

ecosystem or is Earth just ldquoraw

materialrdquo for us to operate upon

Who is the presumed

ldquooperatorrdquo

What should a properly conceived

science tell us about this

big question

Is this really true No

Is this really true No

In opposition to a mechanical

and technology-driven approach

to the world scientists are

turning to an alternative

scientific understanding of life

systems on Earth

James Lovelock has

labeled this the concept of

ldquoGeophysiologyrdquo

as a new way of

understanding Earth and

the human role within it

ldquoGeophysiology sees the organisms

of the Earth evolving by Darwinian

natural selection in an environment

that is the product of their ancestors

and not simply a consequence of the

Earthrsquos geological historyrdquo

James Lovelock

ldquoBy assuming that the climate is mainly

a physical property of the Earthrsquos

surface environment we leave out the

important consideration of living

organisms including humans and their

dependent species of crops and

livestock as an integral and interactive

part of the climate systemrdquo
