Human Rewilding

The Philosophy

Human Rewilding in the 21st Century

Why Anthropologists Fail

2024 · Birch Top Hill Press

Drawing on anthropology, archaeology, and lived experience, this book lays out the case for abandoning the techno-industrial trajectory and reclaiming the indigenous ways of being which were the most socially and ecologically endurable — a practical and philosophical blueprint for human rewilding. The book is also an in-the-face response to rewilding's critics, particularly a certain cadre of anthropologists.
