As society develops, man tends to become less dependent on nature directly, while indirectly his dependence grows. Our distant ancestors lived in fear of nature’s destructive forces. Very often they were unable to obtain the merest daily necessities. However, despite their imperfect tools, they worked together stubbornly, collectively, and were able to attain results. Nature  was  also changed through interaction with man. Forests were destroyed and the area of farmland increased.    Nature with its elemental forces was regarded as something hostile to man. The forest, for example, was somethin
g wild and frightening and people tried to force it to retreat.    This was all done in the name of civilization, which meant the places where man had made his home, where the earth was cultivated, where the forest had been cut down.
