Living in the Homogenocene: The First 500 Years | Charles C. Mann

Ever since Columbus, it’s an alien invasive world. Everybody’s germs, insects, vegetables, staple foods, rats, domestic animals, and even wildlife went everywhere, changing everything. That convulsion is still in progress.

Charles C. Mann is the author of "1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus" and "1493: Uncovering the New World Columbus Created".
