Excerpt from Animals Before Man in North America: Their Lives and Times The preference has naturally been given to the larger animals. As a rule, not only do we know them better, but they are likely to be more impressive and interesting than their small associates. Just as today the larger animals give us our clearest impressions of the difier ences between the animals of different parts of the earth, so do they mark most plainly the distinctions between the life of the present and that of the past.

Excerpt from Animals Before Man in North America: Their Lives and Times It is the aim of this book to picture the early life of our continent, to tell something of the fishes that once swam about its shores, the reptiles that splashed through the swamps, and the mammals that long ago roamed the Western plains. Books and museums and zoological gardens have made us familiar with the animals of the present, but we are apt to have rather vague ideas of the animals of the past. Whirling through New Jersey, the traveler notes in the morning paper that a mastodon has just been unearthed near New Brunswick, and may wonder how the landscape would look with herds of mastodons in place of the familiar cattle. The geologist might say that this was the case only a short time ago, while long before the same land was occupied by huge, unfamiliar reptiles.

Excerpt from Mighty Animals: Being Short Talks About Some of the Animals Which Lived on This Earth, Before Man Appeared The aim of this book is to interest young people in the life that was lived on this earth before man appeared. Of the many wonderful animals which lived during that period in the earth's history only some of the most striking among the gigantic types are discussed. For information to be found in books regarding these animals, the author has relied chiefly on two works by Frederic A. Lucas, "Animals of the Past" and "Animals before Man in North America: Their Lives and their Times"; "Extinct Animals" by Sir Edwin Ray Lankester; "Age of Mammals in Europe, Asia, and North America," by Henry Fairfield Osborn; " Extinct Monsters, " by Henry Neville Hutchinson; and "The Mammoth and the Flood," by Sir Henry H.

One of Kirkus Review's Best Nonfiction Books of 2022 A deep-time history of animals and humans in North America, by the best-selling and award-winning author of Coyote America. In 1908, near Folsom, New Mexico, a cowboy discovered the remains of a herd of extinct giant bison. By examining flint points embedded in the bones, archeologists later determined that a band of humans had killed and butchered the animals 12,450 years ago. This discovery vastly expanded America’s known human history but also revealed the long-standing danger Homo sapiens presented to the continent’s evolutionary richness. Distinguished author Dan Flores’s ambitious history chronicles the epoch in which humans and animals have coexisted in the “wild new world” of North America—a place shaped both by its own grand evolutionary forces and by momentous arrivals from Asia, Africa, and Europe. With portraits of iconic creatures such as mammoths, horses, wolves, and bison, Flores describes the evolution and historical ecology of North America like never before. The arrival of humans precipitated an extraordinary disruption of this teeming environment. Flores treats humans not as a species apart but as a new animal entering two continents that had never seen our likes before. He shows how our long past as carnivorous hunters helped us settle America, initially establishing a coast-to-coast culture that lasted longer than the present United States. But humanity’s success had devastating consequences for other creatures. In telling this epic story, Flores traces the origins of today’s “Sixth Extinction” to the spread of humans around the world; tracks the story of a hundred centuries of Native America; explains how Old World ideologies precipitated 400 years of market-driven slaughter that devastated so many ancient American species; and explores the decline and miraculous recovery of species in recent decades. In thrilling narrative style, informed by genomic science, evolutionary biology, and environmental history, Flores celebrates the astonishing bestiary that arose on our continent and introduces the complex human cultures and individuals who hastened its eradication, studied America’s animals, and moved heaven and earth to rescue them. Eons in scope and continental in scale, Wild New World is a sweeping yet intimate Big History of the animal-human story in America.

It may be surprising to us now, but the taxidermists who filled the museums, zoos, and aquaria of the twentieth century were also among the first to become aware of the devastating effects of careless human interaction with the natural world. Witnessing firsthand the decimation caused by hide hunters, commercial feather collectors, whalers, big game hunters, and poachers, these museum taxidermists recognized the existential threat to critically endangered species and the urgent need to protect them. The compelling exhibits they created—as well as the scientific field work, popular writing, and lobbying they undertook—established a vital leadership role in the early conservation movement for American museums that persists to this day. Through their individual research expeditions and collective efforts to arouse demand for environmental protections, this remarkable cohort—including William T. Hornaday, Carl E. Akeley, and several lesser-known colleagues—created our popular understanding of the animal world and its fragile habitats. For generations of museum visitors, they turned the glass of an exhibition case into a window on nature—and a mirror in which to reflect on our responsibility for its conservation.
