Last Born In The Wilderness

I speak with Alexander Koch, lead author of the recently released groundbreaking scientific paper, Earth system impacts of the European arrival and Great Dying in the Americas after 1492. As the title suggests, it explores the dramatic global climatological changes that resulted from the “Great Dying" of indigenous populations in the Americas after first contact with Europeans in 1492. Alexander and his colleagues’ research has been making the rounds in the mainstream media, getting extensive coverage in The Guardian, BBC, The Hill, and numerous other publications. // Episode notes: https://www.lastborninthewilderness.com/episodes/alexander-koch // Sustain + support: https://www.patreon.com/lastborninthewilderness // Donate: https://www.paypal.me/lastbornpodcast
