Biology (-tech,-chem,micro-)
proofreading
the human's world / the humans' world / human world
the nature´s world / nature's world /
I would say mother nature's world, but is is grammatical to say "the nature's world?
The human´s world with its strange [trendy] voc and its lack of technology would seem very different from nowadays´ world. On the other hand the nature´s world would be such a peaceful place to live.
many thanks in advance

: also nowaday's world sounds weird: today's world or the present world perhaps?

yes, true - I'd say "today's world". Actually, the whole thing is pretty odd - what on earth is "strange voc"?!

: The English possessive (it doesn't have a genitive case) is vastly overused by non-native (and some native) speakers. The results are usually weird to comical.
