Wise words from #DavidAttenborough, but he still belongs to a generation, & to an establishment & academic class that has failed humanity.
Despite being an evolutionary biologist, he failed to understand evolved human nature & how it is perverted by civilisation itself.

I'm sure David must have read, #EFSchumacher's #Small_is_Beautiful (1973), which makes clear that mainstream #BritishValues are inherently unsustainable on our finite, vulnerable & overpopulated planet, #SpaceshipEarth, but I've never heard him say this.

#DavidAttenborough, like all academics, fails to recognise how civilisation corrupts evolved human nature, because it works very much to his own personal advantage.
Understanding this requires an evo-sociobiological perspective, which most academics refuse to embrace.

It was/is the job of evolutionary biologists like David Attenborough, #RichardDawkins, #DesmondMorris, @BretWeinstein & many, many others to persuade social scientists to take such an approach to understanding human nature & society, but they have failed to do so.
