Human Ecogenetics

This more scientific page includes a number of terms that are not very specialized. Just click on the keywords to get the definition or see them commented from the perspective of the EGH.

The human ecogenetics is the study of interactions between lhomme-et-son-environnement physical and cultural, at the crossroads of ecology , de-la-genetique and sciences-humaines .

The challenge is to go back to the first causes of ecological imbalances, psychophysiologiques and which enter our civilization , in order to define a culture-pro-genetique capable of ensuring durables coexistence between humanity and the global ecosystem .

Combining [classical ecology](classical lecologie) and ecopsychology , human ecogenetics takes into account both the material environment and the cultural, psychological and social environment . It is distinguished, however, by a fundamental questioning of the psychic functioning of the human being , in order to better identify cognitive or psycho-affective dysfunctions likely to induce environmental disorders or to be induced by these disorders .

**Is Our lifestyle Compliant With Our ** potentialites-Genetiques ? **

Man has changed his natural and cultural environment in the course of the millennia and continues to modify it through numerous fireworks: to what extent are these artifices in agreement with the innate characteristics of human beings , or do they instead exceed the limits of adaptability that are his own? To what extent do they exceed those of other biological actors involved in the ecosystem?

Each of our activities must be scrutinized by what we know today in terms of de-la-genetique, ecology and psychology , as to its reasons for being and its longer-term consequences. Human ecogenetics, reconciling cultural and genetic determinism , relies on the proven notion of limited adaptability , from the perspective of de-la-genetique , , and theories on self-organised systems .

The decryption of the first causes that have led to the present situation is essential if we are to understand in depth the mechanisms of ecological degradation and to define , , and durables . This includes deepening the psychopathic factors involved in demographic explosion , as well as in the dependence on the multiple artefacts underlying le-consumerisme-et-la-croissance , or in indifference-aux-consequences-ecologiques-de-nos-actes .

Indeed, there is no guarantee that the ecological disaster that threatens life on earth may be stopped by simple technological advances limiting nuisances. These may only push certain limits over time, trigger retroactions-imprevues or initiate new vicious circles. There is also no guarantee that awareness currently under way will ultimately gain la-majorite-des-humains and truly reduce nuisances . We must go back to the origins of harmful fireworks and question the psychological factors that still make us dependants .

Such an approach requires theoretical and empirical research in-depth that human ecogenetics is the to be undertaken in the sense of an analysis of psychological functions and dysfunctions in relation to ecological disorders .

In short: man is able to invent all kinds of fireworks gradually constituting a culture ( rituels , outils, techniques, weapons, arts, religions , etc.). These fireworks may have effet-pervers , i.e. exceed the adaptability limits of the species concerned (including the human species). It is therefore possible
