Human Impact

Bernie Taylor is an independent naturalist, thought leader and author whose research explores the mythological connections and biological knowledge among prehistoric, indigenous and ancient peoples. His works in these areas include Biological Time (2004) and Before Orion: Finding the Face of the Hero (2017).  Bernie talks to Ed Andrew about the connection between neolithic cave art and the differences which either connect or polarise humanity. He takes his deep knowledge into modern day education and the corporate world teaching collaboration and creativity. Bernie has lectured at the Dept of Astro Physics at UCSD and the Institute of Astronomy at the University of Hawaii where his research confronts conventional thinking. Ed was especially proud that this is the first episode that his 10 year old daughter Viva has started to ask questions of guests and exploring her love of the natural world.
