Annals of the Former World

by John McPhee

The speaker references 'John mcfee's Pulitzer Prize winning book Animals of the Former World' (likely a transcription error for 'Annals of the Former World'), describing it as 'a geological history book.' They quote two memorable lines from it: that the top of Mount Everest is marine limestone, and that if you imagine Earth's history as your arms stretched out, you could remove all of human history with one stroke of a nail file. This was discussed in the context of the dramatic landscape changes and flooding in South Dakota.
