I am convinced of this every time I visit a city in the UK. It’s odd that one side of the human psyche wants to live in small groups close to nature and the other side wants to build huge rabbit warrens covered in concrete and tarmac. I find myself wondering if this started when the drying out of the Middle East caused the move to city states to manage food supplies and ensure that the rich were isolated from famines. Those city states look uncomfortably like anthills.
