Abstract
In the early days of habitation of this planet, when the human population was small and its per capita consumption of energy was primarily as food (8,400–12,600 kJ/day; 2–3,000 kcal/day), total human demands on the biosphere were consequently small. Early requirements of goods were minimal and quite close to direct (requiring little fashioning) so that this early society’s total demands and wastes were easily accommodated and assimilable by the biosphere, with little impact.
