TL;DR: Sustainability is seen as a process of analysing and remedying the deficiencies within the social genome so that equilibrium can be restored between human demands for environmental services and the capability of the environment to provide them.

TL;DR: The authors proposed an ecological approach to the analysis of relations among nations, a framework that can also be extended into other social and behavioral science disciplines, such as psychology, social, political, geographic, or legal factors.

TL;DR: The relationship of disease organisms to human well-being is discussed in this paper, where four major transformations are tipping the balance in favor of harmful microbes: demographic factors such as rapid population growth urbanization economic decline and migration of refugees that foster the rapid spread of diseases; changes in human behavior especially sex behavior and use of IV drugs that weaken disease resistance; regional environmental changes that have accelerated microbe mutations and exposure; and technological innovations such as closed systems of transportation found in air craft and subways mass production and distribution of food and the proliferation of antibiotics that have indirectly accelerated the impact

TL;DR: An evolutionary framework for speculating about some of the socio-cultural and genetic diversity issues of the next millennium is developed and Preservation of genetic and socio- cultural diversity is identified as a crucial aspect of social progress over the next century.
