INDONESIA - The Wallace Line with Lotta and Cam

from The Meandering Pod · host Cam, Dom, Bec and Lotta

One of the most exciting phenomena in the spread of animals across the globe, the Wallace Line is a tale of life and death, deep time and the movement of humans across an island chain like no other, and it passes right between Bali and Lombok! Join Lotta and Cam as they explore not only the Wallace Line, but also Wallace, a progressive 19 th century naturalist who despite it all, was still a product of colonialism. We also explore the impact colonialism has on science still today and dedicate the episode to all the amazing people we’ve met so far in Indonesia. We were lucky enough to feature two guests:Geologist friend Deni Sugandi from Bandung, who helped explain the geological controls on the movements of animals across the archipelagoAndRonya Ramrath (Lotta’s sister!) who is currently completing her PhD at Oxford on the epistemic injustice of Indigenous Knowledge not being acknowledged as knowledge in western academia. We hope you enjoy!
