The human elementome, the number and amounts of elements used biologically and nonbiologically by humans, has increasingly diverged from the biological elementome that characterizes the elements used by the nonhuman living organisms. This increasing divergence due to human cultural evolution has huge ecological, evolutionary, environmental, and geopolitical consequences.
人类元素组,即人类生物和非生物使用的元素数量和种类,已经越来越偏离了非人类生物所使用的元素的生物学元素组特征。这种由于人类文化进化而导致的日益扩大的差异,对生态、进化、环境和地缘政治都有着巨大的影响。
