Origin
Historically Man has always had a strong connection to the Land. He understood his; and all other living things, total dependence on it for survival. Arguably something modern western cultures have forgotten. This knowledge is most apparently communicated throughout the mythological tales of genesis from ancient cultures across the globe; as well as in the modern monotheist religions of Judaism, Islam and Christianity, in which the creation of man from earth is a common theme.
“And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”
