Ep. 485: The interconnectedness of all things
Guest: Wade Davis, anthropologist
The Roman emperor Markus Aurelius posited in his book “Meditations” that “all things are implicated with one another and the bond is holy.”
At the time of his writing, it was a philosophical concept. Today it has been proven by science – genomics in particular.
Wade Davis, the great Canadian thinker and anthropologist, in his talk at the Dr. Rix Distinguished Keynote address “The Wayfinders of Genomic Wisdom,” said that “studies of the human genome have left no doubt about the interconnectedness of all things.”
Davis went on to say, “Genomic science unveils the profound truth that we are all connected by the same genetic cloth.” He argues that “indigenous perspectives combined with genome insights can revolutionize conservation, restore ecological balance, mend cultural divisions and provide the antidote to heal an ailing world.”
We invited Wade Davis to join us for a Conversation That Matters about the interconnectedness of life.
