How have humans altered our physical environment in the past & how will they continue to do so in the future?

Answer 1

Humans have made huge impacts on the physical environment by logging, farming, building, and really just existing. The problem is the rate of change is accelerating as the population grows exponentially and people become industrialised and require more and more. The earth really cannot sustain this growth in all aspects of people greed and need. There is no easy way to slow it let alone stop it.

As a planet we are doomed! not tomorrow but before this century is out.

Answer 2

Humans made the greatest change to their environment and the biggest change to the lives of their successors when they started cultivating grain.

They were able to settle in one place. They were able to support a larger population (albeit on a more limited diet), which eventually led to the growth of surplus foods enabling cities to be founded.

Cultivating grain impelled the biggest changes in human history.

I cannot foretell the future. If patterns follow trends of recent decades, change will become faster.
