- Fear the forest?!
I don’t agree that humans feared the forest for most of our history. Cite the evidence Mr. Nelson.
Challenge claims made with no evidence Chris.
I think ancient humans understood and navigated nature superbly well with minimal fears.

You should learn about the genetic bottleneck phenomenon, quite easy to drive extinct. We are deliver actual WWE backbreakers to life everyday. Cheetah’s would be done in short order if they dropped to 0.3%. The Cheetah’s niche may get refilled over time.

Stay positive, but try to empathize or walk-a-mile in the shoes ... more
Apple Podcasts5WilderLeadUnited Statesa year ago - Very Guest Dependent
So while I’m giving it three stars, it’s more like a middle point between 5 and 2. James Krellenstein’s episodes are amazing, for example, but many episodes can fall into nuclear advocacy traps, such as excessive hippie punching. Hence, this is a series which can be great, but is very uneven.
