In a unique presentation, including selected readings and an on-stage discussion with Sara Dant, writer, historian, and former professor Dan Flores will engage topics such as why America no longer has elephants, how Native people sustained American diversity across 10,000 years, why Euro-Americans were so committed to destroying the continent’s wolves, and how religion and free-market capitalism allowed the United States to engage in the most massive destruction of animal life in modern history. Flores’s presentation and the discussion draw from his new book, an ambitious Big History of how we humans responded to the grand bestiary of American creatures that emerged in the wake of the Chicxulub Impact. Wild New World is a narrative history that begins in deep time and extends into America’s present time.
