It has beautiful panoramic video of vast, still-undeveloped landscapes, but sometimes I look at (for example) the grasslands of Central Asia in those scenes and realize how empty and almost lifeless the land looks without the vast, dense herds of mammoth, bison, antelope, wild horses, aurochs, rhinos, muskoxen, and giant camels that belong there. We have reduced most of the world to a near-wasteland, compared to what it should be.Ellen S.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5960010235948258354.post-83253997196479228762020-10-29T20:38:16.476+01:002020-10-29T20:38:16.476+01:00Thank you a lot for reading and for the correspond...Thank you a lot for reading and for the correspondence!

Realizing that we live with an impoverished fauna has really recontextualized a lot of how I think about evolution and life on Earth. Rather than the pinnacle of evolution that all other life was leading up to, our modern fauna is actually just a pale shadow of the splendor that it once was. Very sobering thinking of it that way.bickahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13831266813018699909noreply@blogger.com
