How has human success reshaped the lives of other animals? The Last Animal by Kyle Harper follows that question from Ice Age extinctions to today’s biodiversity crisis, connecting the human story with the changing ecosystems around it.
Drawing together history, ecology, evolution, and Earth system science, Harper examines the effects of migration, technological change, empires, and industry on animal life. His account considers both the disappearance of species and the simplification of ecosystems, offering a wider perspective on environmental change.
For readers of environmental history and conservation science, this book provides a substantial exploration of humanity’s ecological footprint and the historical context behind the sixth extinction debate.
