Wade Davis parla delle civiltà in pericolo

Human cultures are disappearing faster than species, with half of the world's 6,000 languages no longer taught to children. Each language and tradition encodes a unique way of seeing reality, from the Barasana who marry outside their language to the Kogi who train shamans in darkness for 18 years. When a language dies every two weeks, a whole lineage of wisdom, myth, and perspective vanishes. The survival of cultural diversity is as vital to the planet as the preservation of its biological life.
