People usually treat as starting simultaneously with the industrial era. A better date range puts it earlier:

That’s an important and. Situating coal’s epoch-making capacities within class and colonial relations predating steampower’s dominance yields an alternative periodization. British-led industrialization unfolded through the linked processes of agricultural revolu- tion at home and abroad – providing the labor-power for industry by expelling labor from domestic agriculture and, in the case of the West Indian sugar colonies, channeling capital surpluses into industrial development (Brenner 1976; Blackburn 1998). The possi- bilities for the ‘prodigious development of the productive forces’ flowed through the relations of power, capital and nature forged in early capitalism.

[...]

The erasure of capitalism’s early-modern origins, and its extraordinary reshaping of global natures long before the steam engine, is therefore significant in our work to develop an effective radical politics around global warming … and far more than global warming alone! Ask any historian and she will tell you: how one periodizes history powerfully shapes the interpretation of events, and one’s choice of strategic relations. Start the clock in 1784, with James Watt’s rotary steam engine (Crutzen 2002a), and we have a very differ- ent view of history – and a very different view of modernity – than we do if we begin with the English and Dutch agricultural revolutions, with Columbus and the conquest of the Americas, with the first signs of an epochal transition in landscape transformation after 1450.

Wonder if cooking meat gives humans an advantage there. Of course, going vegetarian would bypass that altogether.

I'd wager that cooking can inactivate most viruses, depending on the temperature. But what you do before the heating process also matters. Cooking at home, normal cooking, can get messy. In a lot of places, people even buy freshly killed animals or kill the animals at home (usually chickens or fish).

His regret should be that he left so late.

How else would the kid get their B12? Human flesh is the most nutrient dense and best quality protein source, that's just science.

Of course. Fascists ruin everything.

There are fools who believe that Big Pharma won't take over Big Supplement (and the ads will be for supplements).

sounds expensive

My position is that it should be part of a free and universal healthcare system, and the real moral challenge is going to be that it's unaffordable to those who need it.

I'll take two!
