dc.description.abstract	Niche-constructing organisms actively modify their environments with adaptive consequences, sustaining a new equilibrium. Modern humans are instead niche modifiers, continually changing their environments irrespective of adaptive pressures. The nature, scale, and speed of such modifications have potential ill effects that need to be addressed with multilevel societal initiatives.
