George Perkins Marsh (1864) wrote a well-written and comprehensible article called “The Earth As Modified By Human Action,” in regards to the human impact on the physical environment. In 1864, Marsh wrote a strong argument that people had modified the physical environment and took thousands of years for human civilization to become the modern world and for people to understand the natural environment. Initially, people in ancient civilizations knew little information of the physical environment and
