  4. North America is a land of immigrants, and not only human immigrants

    It was colonized by South American & Asian species after the Chicxulub asteroid devastation & by Asian species (including humans) when the Bering Strait was dry. Then, at the historical (human) scale, Europeans invaded America (15th C) & many subsequent waves of immigration shaped the current North America

  5. #FinishedReading #TimFlannery 's epic story of life in North America, from the continent's formation shortly after the dinosaur-destroying asteroid wiped the slate clean, to the modern industrial economy and conservation movement. Parts are a bit repetitive - there's only so many times an animal can pop into the story, be described as 'odd', then go extinct a few million years later, before I lose track - but I loved the scope and ambition. #Bookstodon @bookstodon
