A Gaian-deep time view of Earth history and current events. As Lynn Margulis observed, “Gaia is symbiosis seen from space.” This issue is “the unsocial” and discusses why humans are in no way special to the evolution of the Universe or planet Earth. Childrens’ shows have “peanut galleries” because children like to watch children. Humans think that humans are special for the same circular reasoning.
