For 99 percent of the two million years on earth, cultural man has lived as a nomadic
hunter-gatherer.
It is that way of life, the most successful and enduring that man has ever achieved, that wilderness reminds us. We have learned that it was not necessarily as nasty, brutish, and short as we had supposed, and yet our interest in it invariably takes the form of nostalgia for something irretrievably lost.
