The relationship between nutrition and the evolution of humankind is complex and intriguing. Beyond the obvious fact that any nourishing substance eaten, drunk, or otherwise taken into the body to sustain life, provide energy and promote growth is a prerequisite for the survival of the species, the supply and availability of food has proved a critical factor shaping the emergence, development, and, in some specific circumstances, the downfall of human civilizations through the ages.

For the purposes of this investigation, data & tech services are all the procedures or devices needed to create, process, store, secure and exchange information. Under this definition, D&TS has been developing along with humankind for millennia, the oldest records being tally sticks, petroglyphs (rock carvings) and petrographs (rock paintings), which date back to 18,000 - 20,000 years before the Common Era (BCE).

Power & Energy
The growth of human population, the evolution of its living standards, and most changes impacting the global environment over millennia are highly correlated to energy capture. Because the First Law of Thermodynamics rules that there is no creation or destruction of energy, only conversion from one form to another, it is technically more accurate to speak of energy capture than of generation and consumption of energy, which is the common parlance.
