Many thousands of years ago, the early humans called, "Neanderthals" (nee-AND-er-talls were very careful about protecting the environment. For example, a Neanderthal hunting party would go after their prey, say a buffalo or other large animal, and through clever tactics, kill that animal to provide them with food, heat, coverings and clothes.

Next came the Cro-Magnon (crow-MAN-yunn) man. These people would drive a herd of buffalo or other animal over a cliff to kill them, and then use just one or two of the many dead beasts.

We don't have any written or verbal history that would hint at what point the Neanderthals started caring about nature.

What comes after homo erectus?

Homo sapiens is a largely biological designation and science does not allow issues of spirit to tread upon it. But the world is changing quickly. Issues of the spirit are on the rise and the next stage of human evolution already has some names floating around: homo spiritus homo sanctus It's a change in which either science, or common perception dictates that we do have spirits, and are divine, destined for immortality. http://www.paep.ca/en/CIYL/2002/doc/peck_homo_sapiens.pdf
