We discover too late that we have turned a blind eye to the extinction of a species that is essential to the balance of life in a particular context.

We do not draw conclusions with our eyes, but with our reasoning powers, and if the whole of the rest of living nature proclaims with one accord from all sides the evolution of the world of organisms, we cannot assume that the process stopped short of Man.
