The relationship between humans and environment has varied from the early periods of human settlement on the earth to the present day. The relationship between environment and human beings has also being varying from place to place at any given period of time. For example‚ early humans considered the environment to be dominant. They were afraid of lightning and thunder‚ dense forests‚ wild animals‚ vast oceans and large rivers‚ to name a few. The environment has considerably affected human beings

1877 Allen’s Rule An American zoologist Joel Allen discovered the relation between limb length and the environment that a population lives in (Larsen 2017‚ pg‚115). This rule stated‚ “The principle that an animal’s limb lengths are heat-related; limbs are longer in hot environments and shorter in cold environments” (Larsen 2017‚ pg 115). Furthermore‚ Allen’s rule states that heat-adapted mammal populations will have long limbs‚ which maximize the body’s surface area and this promotes heat dissipation

The environment can be something as vast as global weather patterns or as simple as the desert regions. With the advent of many technologies‚ the delicate balance of the environment has been upset (Elliot‚ 1961‚ p. 392). Strip mining‚ slash and burn farming‚ damming of rivers‚ and the extinction of many species of plants and animals have all lead to the permanent changing of the environment. Some say the change is for good‚ and others say for the change is for worse‚ but what is good about the

Man’s Effect on the Environment 1) SOURCES OF POLLUTION Freshwater Environments : Man pollutes freshwater all over the world in many ways there is much waste and pollution that ends up in rivers. One of the main hazards is called eutrophication‚ this process becomes enriched with artificial nutrients from fertilisers which run off into the rivers and upset the natural nutrient cycle of the river‚ lake or pond. The water turns green because of the algae which when they die multifly
