Abstract

The history of mankind can be divided into 3 periods: the period of hunters-gatherers, the period that followed the agricultural revolution and the period that followed industrialisation. In his latest book, McKeown [1] observed that “in the first period there was no effective control either on the environment or on reproduction; in the second period there was some control on the environment but not on reproduction and in the third period there was further control on the environment and, for the first time, on reproduction but there was insufficient control on the conditions of life created by industrialisation.”
