Humans and our livestock (cows, pigs, goats, sheep) today outweigh all wild land mammals by roughly 80 to one, whereas 10,000 years ago before agriculture wild mammals outweighed us and our domesticates by about 40 to one — a roughly 3,000-fold swing in biomass composition in an evolutionary blink, reflecting a planetary reallocation of life's living fabric around human needs.
