In the first episode of the ReWild Yourself! Podcast, I'm honored to bring you Arthur Haines, a plant taxonomist who practices and shares a neoaboriginal life way to foster awareness, connection, health and self-reliance. We discuss a very important question: Are we really Homo sapiens? We get into the 4 criteria that define a domesticated species and find that it might make sense to begin classifying humans a little differently. Enter Homo sapiens domesticofragilis, or wise, fragile, domesticated man. Arthur gives us the key factors to transcending domestication and living the NeoAboriginal Lifeway.
