Before we had scientists, I'm curious to know who "protected" all the different species for the last millions and millions of years?

Even though I am working to go green and live organically, it is not because I believe that global warming is the end of the earth. I believe that the more we tweak and advance the way we produce our food and speed up our lives, the more we seem to negatively impact our bodies. 

Anyway, just days away from Darwin's 200 birthday, Darwin's Theory has been in my thoughts a bit more lately. I have often thought of adding thoughts about it here, just to keep track of the bits  of the dialog that goes on in my mind. 

*Before the scientists was inspired by the latest "National Geographic".
