From the emergence of Homo sapiens about
500,000 B.C.E. to 1804 C.E.,
the human population of Earth was
under 1 billion people.
In 1804 Britain occurred the
Industrial Explosion.
Soon the machine dictated the
terms of organic existence to its servants,
the humans.
The human body had
become the inferior machine.
Traditional trades
disintegrated.
The gallows dominated the landscape.
