Description: Florida on Fire
Dr. Rachel Wentz
Humans have utilized fire for over 500,000 years. Since its capture and domestication, fire has transformed human civilization, affecting diet, material culture, even our anatomy, and its control is frequently cited as one of the demarcations separating “human” from “nonhuman.” Prehistoric Floridians relied heavily on fire, and we see its application in numerous aspects of their culture. But fire has played a fundamental role within our state’s prehistory and history. From habitat maintenance to major urban conflagrations, Florida has had a close affinity with fire. This presentation will explore the numerous ways fire has transformed our state.
