From foragers relying on simple tools and fire to farmers harnessing the power of agriculture, and eventually to the use of fossil fuels in the modern era, the quest for energy has shaped the development of civilizations. However, as societies have advanced and their energy needs have grown, the negative impact on the environment has become increasingly apparent.
The transition from foraging to farming was a significant turning point in human history, as it allowed for a more stable and reliable food supply.

However, this transition also came with its own set of challenges, as the increased demand for land and resources led to deforestation, soil depletion, and other environmental degradation.
