>Are humans not part of nature?
No. Humans are supranatural when it comes to our influence on the planet. While this power is not absolute, it's significant enough to make humans an edge case in nature.

In the example given, it's not occasional, but occurs a significant minority of the time that nature can't cope with the volume of human feces.

As pre-Socratic Heralcitus said you "never step in the same river twice." If humans exceed the carrying capacity of their ecosystem, the system will reduce the number of humans.
