60. Wilderlands: The Human History of Wild Britain
Henge
When was Britain last truly wild… and are we part of the wilderness after all? Archaeologist Eloise Kane takes us on a 12,000-year journey through Britain’s shifting landscapes. From prehistoric forests and Roman intervention to medieval hunting grounds and modern countryside myths, she reveals how humans have always shaped-and been shaped by-the natural world. Familiar creatures such as brown hare and fallow deer emerge as surprising newcomers, challenging romantic ideas of an untouched past. Lively, thought-provoking and deeply relevant, Kane invites us to rethink what “wild” really means, and what role we play in Britain’s ecological future.
