READING, WRITING

Read 60 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari

The author postulates a 3rd explanation for the extinction of megafauna in Australia:  climate change.  He says that COMBINED with the arrival of humans (who brought fire and hunting to the land), climate change 45K years ago was also a cause of the extinction of marsupial lions, diprotodons, and many other species.

He also readily admits that without concrete evidence, we cannot be sure what the actual causes were.  However, he does not hold back:  Humans sent the ecosystem into the abyss.

Wow.  How dehumanizing.  He's judging his ancestors without concrete evidence.  He could at least have mentioned the obvious fact that those humans did not know the extent of devastation they were causing.

And I will add that perhaps this is acceptable:  humans have a right to be here, too.

Who knows?  I certainly don't.
