Ecology is dynamic and I don't know anyone who would argue man is not part of the ecosystem of the Earth- you seem to be using "ecology" in some loaded way to prove a point. I don't know exactly what that point would be- that it is ok that man destroys lots of other species? That man doesn't need to be careful of the environment because he is part of it? That because there have been other catastrophic changes to the earth man should cause them too? Ecological balance is an interesting phrase to use within this context- because right now the rate of change (I.E. destruction of wetlands and rainforest- one, the most highly productive, the other the most biologically diverse) is extremely high and we are no where near any sort of "balance". The human population is doing the Malthus thing- if you look at the total population of the Earth- and we all know how the Malthus population curves look, don't we?
