In this episode, I talked with Lyle Lewis. Lyle is an author of book called Racing to Extinction: Why Humanity Will Soon Vanish. He is a former endangered species biologist with the US Department of Interior. He is the founder of the Western Bat Working Group and Southwestern Carnivore Committee and has received numerous awards for bat, carnivore, and natural area conservation. His career and love of the outdoors has taken him to many of the wildest backcountry places in North America.

In this episode, we dive into the big ideas behind Lyle’s groundbreaking book and explore the misconceptions surrounding it. We begin with his personal journey—what he has done throughout his career, the environmental battles he fought, and what his current work looks like today.

Lyle explains why he believes humanity could face extinction in a relatively short period of time, and what defines the Sixth Mass Extinction Event. He challenges the common belief that this extinction began with the Industrial Revolution, arguing instead that it started 2.5 million years ago, when early humans developed unique anatomical and cognitive traits that set us on a distinct evolutionary path.

We discuss human exceptionalism—how seeing ourselves as both uniquely successful and uniquely destructive shapes our understanding of our species. Is extinction inevitable? Are there winners and losers in every extinction event—and where do humans fit?

We also explore whether humanity can survive the current extinction crisis or if the damage is already beyond repair.
