Hence the same instant which killed the animals froze the country where they lived. This event was sudden, instantaneous, without any gradual development.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Several times in Earth's history, rapid global warming occurred, apparently spurred by amplifying feedbacks. In each case, more than half of plant and animal species became extinct. New species came into being over tens and hundreds of thousands of years. But these are time scales and generations that we cannot imagine.
Moreover, it thus follows that not a great deal of time was needed for the large animals of the three major parts of the world to become known to the people who spent time on the coasts of those regions.
Why did human development proceed at such different rates on different continents for the last 13,000 years?
From my personal point of view, the Animals are dead. They killed themselves.
Seasonal changes, as it were, take place in history, when there is practically an almost universal death, a falling of the foliage of the tree of life. Such were the intervals between the ancient and mediaeval time, the mediaeval and the modern.
The human species really could have faced global thermonuclear war. During seventy years of Cold War we grew used to it.
Nothing can be more obvious than that all animals were created solely and exclusively for the use of man.
You might think that after thousands of years of coming up too soon and getting frozen, the crocus family would have had a little sense knocked into it.
But it was soon ascertained that this quaternary matter of the animal body was chemically the same in the plant, was elaborated there, and only appropriated by the animal.
Life changes in the instant. The ordinary instant.
