Human Impact on the Environment

We have always influenced our environment, from native Americans directing the prairie fires to Europeans slowly selecting grain for larger seeds and, as a result, creating modern wheat. Today the change we are creating is moving very rapidly, perhaps outpacing our understanding. Join us to review the environmental influence of humans across time and debate the future. Text and other materials are supplied in class.
