It gives a rather vivid account of the activities of Homo Sapiens, starting with the conquest of Gaul by Rome. Then the rest follows. Read it. You will learn about the actions and misdeeds of the most "evolved" species on our planet, through a text that evokes the enumerations of Jacques Prévert: .

| 2 million Gauls murdered by the Romans; | Millions of deaths during the Crusades. Armed and misguided pilgrimages, during the Hundred Years' War and throughout countless religious wars; | 10 to 40 million Chinese killed by the Mongols in the 13th century; | The Tasmanian people were exterminated by the British, during the "perfect" genocide in history; | Hundreds of thousands of Australian Aborigines were decimated by the same British colonists; | The extermination of 20 to 60 million Native Americans, from the "discovery" by the Spanish, evangelization and colonization, up to the Westward Expansion; | The slave trade (Oriental, intra-African and Atlantic) totaled more than 50 million victims. | One million two hundred thousand Armenians perished in the first genocide of the 20th century. | 40 million dead during World War I, and 65 million during World War II (including the 5 million of the Holocaust); | The Stalinist democide: 43 million dead; | The Maoist democide: 30 million victims and a chain of famines; | The bloody terror of Pol Pot: 1.5 million Cambodgians. | Add to this the one million victims of Biafra, the 800,000 Rwandans, mostly Tutsis, who died during the three months of genocide, without forgetting the 300,000 dead and 3 million displaced in the Darfur war. | From the enslavement of the Black people to the New World Order, from 1900 to the dawn of the third millennium, passing through Hiroshima, Nagasaki, the Vietnam War, capitalism alone is responsible for a death toll far exceeding 100 million. | Sapiens, as wise... Were these massacres, these holocausts, these exterminations, these pogroms, these genocides, these wars, these invasions throughout the centuries each dictated by some wise council? | Deforestation, agricultural productivism, agro-terrorism, biological death of the soil, desertification, sixth crisis of life and mass extinction of species due to anthropism, pollution, global warming, melting of ice, rising seas, accelerated depletion of all non-renewable resources. | We are entering a filthy world with a blocked future, the blue planet is in decline. 20,000 hectares of forest cover disappear every day. The Earth as seen from the sky: soon a cemetery, a common grave. According to a WWF report, we have lost nearly 30% of all living things on Earth in 30 years. | The polar bear walks on water, the imperial eagle becomes a cleaner, the vulture attacks the living or becomes a cannibal, the orangutan is dispossessed. The orca and the dolphin circle in concrete pools, the giant panda wears a transmitter collar. The crocodile becomes shoes, the panther is found in the upscale neighborhoods, the birds sing on barbed wire, the dragonflies drown in pools. There is nothing left to pollinate, the hives are deserted, the butterflies are in cages. | The great forest is empty, terribly silent, the small wood nearby is contaminated, lifeless. The coral is in the memory section. | But Total watches over the oceans, Monaco protects the wildlife... and Areva waits for the Grand North to appropriate its last buried riches. | No more nocturnal insects flutter around the streetlamp, no more beetles, no more frogs singing, and for a long time now, the barn owl no longer perches on the telephone pole. Where are the golden carabid, the scarab, the colorful butterflies, the green frog, the pretty snake of our childhood? | Sapiens, as wise... Cows, pigs, poultry, humans are things. In full bio-frenzy, this is the industrialized living. We raise featherless chickens, giant rabbits. In its zoos, circuses, laboratories, and battery cages, the scoundrel of the planet imprisons, tames, tortures, exploits, the companion species | And also its own. | Potatoes with chicken, moth, virus, bacteria, and human genes; Salmon boosted with growth genes, human. Corn with firefly, petunia, wheat, scorpion genes; rice with bean, pea, bacteria, and human genes; tomatoes with fish, virus, bacteria, scorpion, and human genes. | This is the great parade of the unknowns in your plate. | Sapiens, as wise | As benefits: cancers, environmental and genetic diseases, loss of fertility, new diseases concocted from scratch, hundred thousands of chemical molecules released into the soil, water and air, pesticides and biocides in the dew and in our urine, a billion Earthlings suffering each year from the effects of pollution, loss of arable land, more numerous and more deadly "natural" disasters, hordes of environmental refugees... | By 2050, severe droughts are expected to affect 2 to 3 billion humans. Sapiens, as wise | Since the year 1 of the Christian Era, the human population has grown from 250 million to almost 7 billion. For three-quarters of humanity, the Earth is no longer a provider. By 2050, the human colony will count 10 billion individuals. Unfortunate people who, in the best case, will lose...
