Man no longer stood and fought his surround alone, moving freely across the globe. Instead territory became precious and war an extension of statecraft
Mankind, heretofore dynamically moving through the environment as a member of the non-specialized, cross disciplinary hunting party, now settled down to patient millennia-long cultivation of the soil. Instead of learning through interaction of the
environment he substituted eons of boredom and elevated tradition to wisdom;hence to be conservative was a virtue.’
