Abstract

​

What is Humanity’s Place in the Scheme of Life on Earth?

 

Every living organism on Earth — from the smallest microbe to the largest animal and from the simplest plant to the most complex ecosystem — is part of the same living system. Humanity is not separate from this scheme of life, nor does our intelligence give us ownership of the planet. We are one species among millions, dependent upon the biological, chemical and physical processes that sustain life.

 

This forum will examine what our place should be in the wider scheme of life. If every form of life has a right to exist on Earth, what responsibilities accompany humanity’s extraordinary capacity to alter the planet? Are we merely another evolutionary experiment, or do our intelligence and technological abilities impose a greater responsibility to protect the diversity of life with which we share Earth?

 

The discussion will challenge us to reconsider humanity’s relationship with the living planet and ask whether our future depends not on controlling nature, but on learning to exist within it.
