Ecological Impact - The Spread of Humanity Across the World

Pasquale De Marco

Beschreibung

From the earliest migrations out of Africa to the European colonization of the Americas, humans have had a profound impact on the natural world. This book explores the ecological consequences of human expansion, focusing on the period from 900 to 1900 CE.

This period witnessed the rise of European empires, the Columbian Exchange, and the transformation of the global environment. The arrival of Europeans in the Americas had a devastating effect on Native American populations, as disease, warfare, and displacement took their toll. The introduction of new plants and animals, and the exploitation of natural resources, also had a profound impact on the environment.

The legacy of ecological imperialism is still with us today. The environmental problems that we face, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution, are rooted in the history of human expansion. We need to understand this history in order to address these challenges and work towards a more sustainable future.

This book is a comprehensive and accessible account of the ecological consequences of human expansion. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of the environment, the history of colonialism, or the future of our planet.
