Huge Greaber fan. Sadly this book has many inaccuracies. It was discredited by contemporary anthropologists. I would recommend Goliath’s Curse by Luke Kemp or watch this full YouTube series that goes through the inaccuracy of Dawn of Everything: youtu.be/oJIHWk_M398?...

I think we keep it on as long as we want. It’s gonna take us a year to produce this, so the more funding the better really. The reward prices will go up. ❤️

I took part in one of Peter's Rewilding 101 online courses in 2021 - it was a thrilling insight into humanity and the way we relate with the world. Rewilding isn't just for species and ecosystems it's for humans too.

i.e. How we had healthy long lives that were far from being “nasty, brutish, and short.” The current evidence of #paleoanthropology and #archaeology paint a very different picture than what most of us grew up believing. What is one price of human history you know to be disproven?

Peter Michael Bauer @anthrodidact.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

However, stories and media continue to spread outdated ideas about #humanorigins and civilization. In my #Rewilding 101 course I’ve synthesized some of the most pertinent aspects of human history so you can learn the most important parts: how humans lived in #reciprocity with the land & each other.

Peter Michael Bauer @anthrodidact.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

It’s pretty amazing how little the average person knows about #human #history. It’s not taught in most schools, and unless you major in #anthropology you may never come across the information.

Peter Michael Bauer @anthrodidact.bsky.social · 03/04/2026

If we’re not going to the root of the problem and merely treating the symptoms, we’re #doomed to perpetually feel horrible. These #symptom treating parts of rewilding also distract from the social reality: the #hierarchy we live in is driving a mass #extinction. We have to break out now!

Peter Michael Bauer @anthrodidact.bsky.social · 03/04/2026

I’ve always been passionate about keeping a shared definition of #rewilding. While I actually do use many products that help alleviate the deleterious effects of living in a #society that is mismatched with how #humans have #evolved, it pains me to see people stop there.

It’s called an invasive here (Pacific NW) but I think there’s more to unpack with that narrative.

ICE agents grabbed a 16-year-old asylum seeker--which they aren't supposed to do They kept him from his parents -which they aren't supposed to do They shipped him out of state, to a Christian ministry, which they aren't supposed to do. Then they *lost* him. www.startribune.com/how-ice-labe...

ICE detained a Minnesota teen, labeled him an ‘unaccompanied minor,’ and lost him

The Trump administration is apprehending and designating immigrant kids as “unaccompanied,” even as their parents in the U.S. search for them.

…and the #hierarchical system that it spawned created a #feedbackloop that made getting out of this way of life very hard to do. So why the hell did some people even start this? Dive deep into these topics and so much more in my #rewilding 101 course, and follow me for more.

Peter Michael Bauer @anthrodidact.bsky.social · 19/02/2026

The #tradeoffs between these diametrically opposed #waysofliving doesn’t make sense: barely any group of people voluntarily chose this way of life. More than likely it started off small and insignificant, until people’s #reliance on #foodproduction became intensified over thousands of years…

Peter Michael Bauer @anthrodidact.bsky.social · 19/02/2026

#Huntergatherers work many hours less to procure their food than agriculturalists do to produce theirs. Most evidence shows that hunter-gatherers resisted #agricultural subsistence methods, and were either #colonized & enslaved by agricultural societies or died of the diseases that festered in them.

Peter Michael Bauer @anthrodidact.bsky.social · 19/02/2026

Did you know humans didn’t start farming because it was a more efficient way to get calories than hunting and gathering? There are many theories as to why certain #humansocieties began #farming, but the reality is that no one knows. What we do know, is that it certainly wasn’t for #efficiency.

Some humans have, however, caused the sixth mass #extinction in the history of earth within the last 10,000 years. While humans themselves are not flawed, some recent cultures are proven to be extremely self-destructive. How did it happen? What were we doing for the majority of our time here before?

Peter Michael Bauer @anthrodidact.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

DID YOU KNOW…. #Humans are not innately flawed animals. What we call “Humans” (The Homo Genus) evolved at least 2.5 million years ago. Our current species, #HomoSapiens, hasn’t changed significantly in the last 200,000 years. If humans were innately flawed we would not have #survived this long.

As someone who was there it was clear that ICE intended to fire teargas on the labor march, directing shots over the heads of those closest to the building and firing munitions directly at the crowd. They even chose munitions that would have the widest possible effect.

Haha, yes. This. This is why Neolithic villages were destroyed every few years for the first 5,000 years of it. Sedentary peoples shit (and their animals shit) accumulates. Living in filth, in dense populations, with poorer diets are the prime conditions for disease.

DID YOU KNOW…. #Rewilding doesn't mean going back to living as #huntergatherers. Well, maybe for some! But not for most of us. That way of life is and was dependent upon a plethora of #megafauna that are now all but extinct in most regions of the world. www.rewildportland.com/rewilding-101

I gave a talk recently on #copingmechanisms that I’ve developed for myself over years and then led a discussion afterward to hear other people’s. I’m curious what other folks in this space might have to offer? What do you do to stay calm and focused and keep going?
