Enlivening the human spirit through knowledge and egagement

PaleoTerran was launched in 2010 with two goals: (1) learning from the apparent superior health of our ancestors before the Agricultural Revolution and (2) limiting our global environmental impact. While these goals remain important, over time, PaleoTerran expanded its scope to cover topics such as science, nature, and culture. All while sharing a bit of joy along the way.

I welcome your participation.

A traveling writer and a teacher with a deep interest in humankind’s connection to the natural world. His blog posts focus on issues of both physical and environmental health, with themes ranging from exercise and the body, to the impact that our global society has on ecosystems worldwide. Underlying his writing is the belief that our health is tied to the health of the environments in which we live, and that anything that damages these environments will eventually come to damage us as well.
