Hmm...it seems to me that that has happened many times in the past and the result is an expansion of the civilized world. Seems to me that even this supports the notion of dominion over the rest of nature.
No it doesn't. It means humans have learned to adapt to their surroundings in order to survive, by transforming their surroundings. We are doing nothing different then termites do in their hills. We do not have, nor will we ever have dominion over nature. History has taught us that on many occasion.
