Last week I blogged about the seeming gap between Engels and Rachel
Carsons, who is widely regarded as the founder of modern ecological
thought. It turns out that Engels influenced Bukharin, who in turn
influenced Haldane. So let Foster connect the dots:
Rachel Carson was later to characterize the Haldane-Oparin theory of the
origin of life as constituting the core of an integrated ecological view
of life on the planet: "From all this we may generalize that, since the
beginning of biological time, there has been the closest possible
interdependence between the physical environment and the life it
sustains. The conditions on the young earth
produced life; life then at once modified the conditions of the earth,
so that this single extraordinary act of spontaneous generation could
not be repeated. In one form or another, action and interaction between
life and its surroundings has been going on ever since."
