Omschrijving | Biological principles, geographical conditions, global climate, and what we call culture, all play in defining the interactions between humans and other organisms, constantly reshaping the biological environment. What was the nature, scale and extent of the roles of these different actors played in making the earth as we know it today? Archaeology, biology, and related disciplines (including environmental philosophy) provide unique and tangible insights from deep time onwards to address this question and inform policy making. | ||||||||
