New Article: The Progress of a Plague Species, a Theory of History (Symposion)

Please check out my new article in the European journal Symposion at: http://symposion.acadiasi.ro/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/2023.10.2.3.duggan-1.pdf

Errata: The parenthetical in the sentence “The mild eleven-thousand year summer – the Holocene (alternatively, Eremozoic) – that permitted and nurtured human civilization and allowed our numbers to grow will likely be done-in by our species in the not-too-distant future,” at the bottom of page 216, is incorrect and should be stricken.  Eremozoic is not a synonym for Holocene, but may be used as an alternative for Anthropocene. The terms Eremozoic and Anthropocene are accurately characterized in footnote 5 at the bottom of page 217.
