The idea that it's even possible to live in harmony with the rest of the world is pretty fallacious.
You can minimize environmental damage and promote biodiversity, but nature isn't some magical balanced equation that people came into and ****ed up.
Humans are really just the most successful animals on the planet, to suggest that its our essential "humanness" that causes us to "imbalance" the world is just naive.
White tailed deer if given the chance will out-compete and out-breed other herbivores, wolves will if given the chance breed huge numbers and hunt and eat prey to extinction, etc.
Again, nature isn't a perfect ordered system that just got ****ed up by humanity. It's a chaotic cluster****.
