But today we are talking about synanthropes, plants and animals that live and thrive by hanging around human beings in human environments. This week on Sea Change Radio, we speak with Dan Werb, an epidemiologist who’s new book “Our Wild Familiars: How Animals Are Adapting to Cities and Reshaping the Natural World” delves into the fascinating domain of synanthropic creatures. Come dumpster diving with us as we learn more about raccoons, rats, and coyotes and how we are all existentially linked.Sea Change RadioTue, 21 Jul 2026 21:42:24 +0000
