I haven't started reading it yet, but American Serengeti, your other book, I'm sure it's equally awesome and I really enjoy this.
Joe Rogan The Joe Rogan Experience · Apr 2017 My friend Dan Flores wrote a book on it, really really interesting, because most people just assume that that's just how it was back then, the buffalo were everywhere and then the white man came shot all the buffalo, but apparently the buffalo were only all over the place because the white man came and gave diseases.

Joe Rogan The Joe Rogan Experience · Mar 2017 Why people recommend it
American Serengeti by Dan Flores is a sweeping historical and ecological examination of the prehistoric and historic wildlife that once inhabited the vast plains of North America. Joe Rogan frequently discussed the book and its author across several episodes of The Joe Rogan Experience. While speaking with guests such as Jim Norton, Robert Oberst, and Ryan Callaghan, Rogan highlighted the fascinating history of North American megafauna, the Pleistocene era ecosystems, and the complex historical dynamics surrounding massive buffalo herds and indigenous populations. Rogan expressed great enthusiasm for the research presented in the book, noting how it completely upends conventional assumptions about native wildlife populations and their historical timelines before European settlement. Guests and the host alike referenced the volume to illustrate how deeply human activity has shaped North American landscapes and animal distributions over the centuries. Through these discussions, the book has been championed as an essential read for outdoor enthusiasts, historians, and anyone curious about the lost ecological landscape of the continent, offering a sobering yet captivating look at the animals that once roamed free across the American plains.
