Episode 8 - Alexander Von Humboldt: Queer, Curious, Kosmos

Before Darwin, before climate science, before the word “ecology” even existed — there was Alexander von Humboldt. In this episode, Kaine Francesco and Lewis Miles unpack the life of the Prussian polymath who climbed volcanoes, mapped jungles, and saw nature as a living web. From his queer-coded friendships to his radical vision of interconnected ecosystems, Humboldt’s story is one of curiosity, rebellion, and scientific revolution.
