Top 3 Thomas Halliday Quotes (2024 Update)

Thomas Halliday Quote: “There is no such thing as a fixed ideal for an environment, no reef onto which nostalgia can anchor. The human imposition of borders on the world inevitably changes our perception of what ‘belongs’ where, but to look into deep time is to see only an ever-changing list of inhabitants of one ecosystem or another. That is not to say that native species do not exist, only that the concept of native that we so easily tie to a sense of place also applies to time.”

Thomas Halliday Quote: “To talk of the first humans is to hammer a signpost into an ancient river saying ‘no humans beyond this point’, no matter the ever flowing stream around it’s base. There is nothing essential to humanity, no single feature that intrinsically caused one creature to be human where its parents were not... However hard you try to define every point before the signpost as non-human, and every point after the post as human, the river flows continually.”

Thomas Halliday Quote: “What is native to an area and what is not is a function of the scale at which you choose to look, and tying long-extinct species or ecological concepts to present-day artifices like borders and flags is a game in which one must tread carefully.”
