Step-by-step explanation:
The fate of Easter Island can be a lesson for the modern world too. Like Easter Island the Earth has only limited resources to support human society and all its demands. Like the islanders, the human population of the earth has no practical means of escape. How has the environment of the world shaped human history and how have people shaped and altered the world in which they live? Have other societies fallen into the same trap as the islanders? For the last few millennia humans have succeeded in obtaining more food and extracting more resources for increasing numbers of people and increasingly complex and technologically advanced societies.
