    About this ebook

    All great apes are fructivorous and feed on fruits, vegetables, nuts and beans. About a million year ago chimpanzees reached the warmer regions of Europe and Asia. From Africa via the Middle East, homo sapiens reached Western Europe 45,000 years ago. Homo sapiens has started walking upright. In that period, lions were even greater in numbers than the great apes. Neanderthals were the first to master the art of fire in Europe and have also started to consume meat and animal proteins. With wooden spears and stone axes they controlled lions, bears and other predators. Modern man has become omnivorous after this.

    Great apes walk and stand on two legs. Only great apes can touch their reproductive organs with the hand. This evolution is both anatomically and functionally significant. Homo sapiens, the modern human, is at the end of the line of evolution. Only modern humans have been able to control reproduction and free themselves from the instinctual process of reproduction in the mid-twentieth century due to increased brain volume.

     

    Man is the only living being that has been in control of his own reproduction and the reproduction of all animals and plants on earth for half a century. We are indebted to our natural environment that has shaped modern humans into what they are today. Man is the only mammal that has the knowledge to control the reproduction of all life on Earth. The moral of this is, "If man continues to breed and consume animals and plants without restraint, then man as a species will disappear on earth".

    Our distant ancestors are the great apes. We cannot deny this origin. If humanity returns from omnivore to fructivore with food consisting of vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts and the occasional glass of wine, pandemic zoonoses and catastrophic global warming will be spared.

      Save our Planet Earth - Peter A.J. Holst MD PhD

      Save our Planet Earth

      From their tree houses in Africa, the great apes have developed great manual skills. All great apes are fructivorous and feed on fruits, vegetables, nuts and beans. About a million year ago chimpanzees reached the warmer regions of Europe and Asia. From Africa via the Middle East, homo sapiens reached Western Europe 45,000 years ago. Homo sapiens has started walking upright. In that period, lions were even greater in numbers than the great apes. Neanderthals were the first to master the art of fire in Europe and have also started to consume meat and animal proteins. With wooden spears and stone axes they controlled lions, bears and other predators. Modern man has become omnivorous after this.

      Great apes walk and stand on two legs. Only great apes can touch their reproductive organs with the hand. This evolution is both anatomically and functionally significant.  

      Chimpanzees and bonobos, in particular, became very interested in their genitalia that had come within reach.

      Preface

      THIS BOOK WAS WRITTEN by a physician, a philosopher and a nutritionist and phytotherapist.

      In part one you will see how diseases and global warming are result of exploitation of livestock and nature. Violence has been the inescapable companion of history since time immemorial and is the basis of our existence. It is reflected in how man (but actually all that lives) feeds on what lives and exploits its surroundings. Don’t make the globe into a meat ball to prevent a repetition of the fall of Easter Island.

      For half a century, Mother Earth has given man dominion over his own reproduction and the reproduction of all animals and plants on Earth. We are therefore indebted to repair the damage we cause. Meat and eggs for consumption are now exclusively produced by artificial insemination and with breeding and incubators. African swine fever, annual Influenza viruses and Coronavirus pandemics are the result of diseases in animals that can also pass to humans. With each new pandemic, do we really want to wait a year or more to develop drug treatments and vaccines of uncertain efficacy?

      Part 2 describes how the Earth can be saved from overconsumption and exhaustion. Abolition of slavery for consumption animals and optimal use of the abundance of energy that the sun gives us are indispensable to this. Development aid should go hand in hand with aid to reduce overpopulation in parts of the world with extreme population growth.

      Part three describes how we can protect ourselves from diseases that pass from poultry and other livestock to humans and how we can grow old in a healthy way.

      People who consume more animal protein have fewer antibodies, even with a small amount of animal protein. The elderly, in particular, develop diseases that arise from diet that reduces immune response and antibody formation.

      Part One – Everything that lives is multiplied

      IT WAS NOT UNTIL THE mid-twentieth century that life on earth got the reproductive processes under control

      The first life forms were found in the Pacific region. 400 million years ago Pan Gaia was surrounded by Pan Ocean. The earth was a huge pancake. Life on Earth has evolved eastward under the influence of gravity, the Earth's rotation and sunrise. Multicellular organisms, fish, marine iguanas and amphibians have emerged from the primordial soup. Dinosaurs, birds, mammals, and monkeys evolved on the land of Pan Gaia. Great apes, homo erectus and homo sapiens originated in Central Africa and Asia.

      Homo sapiens has achieved greater manual dexterity in the East African area. Man is the only mammal who can place the thumb opposite the other fingers and make a precision grip with his hands. The more those hands could do, the more successful their owners were, so this evolutionary development created an increasing concentration of nerves and high-precision muscles in the thumb and fingers. The brain grew with it. As a result, people can perform very complex tasks with their hands. Modern man is the first living being who gained control over his own reproduction.

      This was followed by control over animal reproduction by applying artificial insemination to the livestock on a large scale

      Meat and eggs for consumption in factory farming are still exclusively produced by artificial insemination or using incubators.
