how the shift to agriculture, which took place only 10,000 years ago, has dramatically increased our success (in terms of survival and reproduction) as a species.

For our final discussion, please consider how the shift to agriculture, which took place only 10,000 years ago, has dramatically increased our success (in terms of survival and reproduction) as a species.  Although our transition from foraging and hunting to agriculture has allowed us to grow exponentially as a population, there are many costs that this dramatic change in lifestyle has rendered. 

One:

For part one of this discussion, describe the biological consequences of global climate change, population increase, and technology.  (Feel free to address the current COVID-19 pandemic here.)

Two:

Then, consider what the future implications may be for humans today if we continue on our current path.  Will our success become our demise?  Next, considering either the resources I have provided in this unit or your own research on this topic (cite any external references), make your own argument for a solution to our potential downfall.
