Interview: Professor Kyle Harper on Mass Extinction and the Future of Life

Kyle Harper is one of the most wide-ranging, curious, and rigorous scholars working today, and he's outdone himself with his latest book, available everywhere now -The Last Animal: Human History and the Fate of Life on Earth from the Ice Age to the Sixth Extinction. We discuss why our present biodiversity crisis is unlike previous mass extinction events, the big-picture history of life and humanity, and what, if anything, we can do about it.
