- Description
- Description
- Have we become too successful as a species? Humans have evolved from being prey during the prehistoric times to being the most successful, and dominant species on the planet. But our rise to dominance has generated a host of problems. We clear forests to raise crops and to build cities and highways. We pollute our air and water with man–made chemicals. In short, we are changing our world in ways that are unprecedented. Paul Ehrlich warned of a looming ecological crisis in his 1968 best–selling book, "The Population Bomb." Forty years later, he's back with a new look at the impact of human evolution on the environment... and how it may threaten our survival. Also today, Cliff Mass joins us with a weekend weather forcast.
