Hello everyone, welcome to a new episode of The Decenter. I'm your host as always, Ricardo Lopez, and today I'm joined by Dr. Laura Batzig. She is a PhD in anthropology at Northwestern University and she's held research and teaching positions at Northwestern, the University of California and the University of Michigan. And today we're talking about her latest book, The Badge of Lost.
in a sense a history of the West. So Dr. Batzig, welcome to the show. It's a huge pleasure to everyone. Thank you very much.
So in the book you try to quote unquote understand human history as natural history. Could you explain that? Yeah. I'm gonna start by asking you a question. Okay.
