The way I’ve always seen it is that “mother nature” has always existed as a metaphysical force that pushes life in certain directions. Humans are just mother nature manifested in conscious form - that is, assuming you believe consciousness and free will to truly exist and not just be an illusion. But the driving force is still “mother nature” just in a different form.
