On the early Earth, volcanoes spewed toxic gas forming a hot dense atmosphere thick with water vapour and carbon dioxide. Situated at just the right distance from the sun, the Earth formed liquid water on its surface as water vapour condensed and fell in torrential downpours. Rivers absorbed minerals from the rocks and flowed like veins across the land. A great ocean formed and became heavy with salt. Elements came together in water to produce organic compounds. The first primitive life appeared in hot springs some four billion years ago. These tiny bacteria replicated and swarmed and spread across the face of the planet. Cyanobacteria eventually appeared and utilized the energy of the sun to produce oxygen. Complex cells formed symbiotic relationships giving rise to male and female multicellular life. The plant and animal kingdoms formed complex webs of interdependence and species evolved with greater complexity. Modern humans appeared on the scene some 200,000 years ago. A unique species that could utilize fire, human beings developed complex language. Human groupings formed ever larger, ever-more complex societies and worked to reshape the environment. Civilizations rose and fell in response to changes in environmental conditions. Eight billion human beings now form a global technological urban society that is destroying ecosystems and devouring the resources of the planet. Easter Island, one of the most isolated places on Earth, was once home to one of the greatest civilizations in the Pacific. The Rapa Nui were a society of innovative farmers, sculptors, and exceptional navigators. Easter Island was also home to the highest palm tree forests in the world and formed the habitat for a variety of unique species. The Rapa Nui cut down the forests for lumber making room for monoculture food crops. Lumber and food were needed for the growing population and to support an elaborate statue-building program that produced almost 1000 stone moai; huge bearded figures with giant heads resting on pedestals. The destruction of the forests led to widespread soil erosion and many species went extinct as the ecosystem collapsed. With all the trees gone, the Rapa Nui could no longer build fishing vessels. Caught in the vice of overpopulation and dwindling resources, Rapa Nui society experienced famine and social unrest. Many did not survive the cataclysm. Home (2009) is a French documentary film by Yann Arthus-Bertrand. The film is almost entirely composed of aerial shots of various places on Earth. The video montage shows the diversity of life on the planet and how humanity threatens the ecological balance. The concept for the documentary came from the director's book Earth from Above.
