History Is in Your Nature—And Nature Is in Your History
Manage episode 428462399 series 3426698
Take a walk on the wild side with your historian host as we unearth some of the big-picture insights of environmental history. Forage in the wilderness, stroll around a giant pie, and hear about what ancient folks did for a living. You’ll also find out why you can’t build enormous pyramid-like buildings without things like beer, bread, kings, priestesses, and pants. And you’ll discover how an ancient, fantastical story about magical beasties and a man who lives like a gazelle can still help us to understand some genuine things about the real past. Most important, learn why you need history in order to really understand humanity’s connections to the natural environment.
