Features: Human troubles and disasters are increasing more and more, and they are worldwide, such as the "9/11 incident, SARS, avian flu, and also foot-and-mouth disease, anthrax, AIDS, etc. Why is this happening? Was it really that peaceful for humans in the past? Of course not. SARS and avian flu are far less deadly than various historical pandemics in terms of the number of deaths, such as the Black Death, plague, etc. While "9/11" and various regional conflicts and "terrorist attacks" compared to the two World Wars are not even a fraction of the number of deaths.
