End the human introduction of non-native species

Hu claims, "Humans are native to almost no where."

This is false. Homo sapiens evolved in Africa and rapidly spread out around the landmasses of most of our planet. In prehistory between 100,000 and 13,000 years ago we settled across every continent except Antarctica. We have been present long enough on most of this planet to be considered a native species.

Our advances in technology, however, do mean that we are a threat to ourselves and many other species. It will take a socialist restructuring of the economy to replace a society driven almost completely by capitalist profit to one that puts human and environmental needs first.

Also in terms of stopping extinctions caused by humans, ending the human introduction of non-native species into new environments would be a massive step in that direction. It is sad that the educational system is so bad in capitalist America when it comes to science that so many people here are unaware of this basic ecological problem.
