It destroyed forests so that man could farm. Even today we still witness the destruction of forests and ecosytems. Man has caused over 160 extinctions of various species in the last decade. Our history is littered with war and chaos. Even from that chaos rose the famous quote- "Rome wasn't built in a day, but it was burned in one." Looking at our history, and even the status quo, it's easy to come to the conclusion- we are better at destruction.
