Overfishing Long Ago Tied to Modern Ecosystem Collapse

This is a bit of an old story, and I only came across it because our Quality Assurance person was having me make a bunch of really old changes. But I think it's an interesting point. I get so frustrated by hearing history divided into two parts, with ancient people living in harmony with nature. Then something comes along -- the Enlightenment, Christianity, science, the dawn of civilization -- that fundamentally changes our relationship with the earth so that we start destroying it. That scheme is far too simplistic.
