Easter Island – blame the rats

A fascinating piece of revisionist history of Easter Island, which says Jared Diamond was wrong that the problem was humans cutting down trees. Instead it was the rats that the humans brought who stopped the trees from reproducing. Still humans to blame in the end though…

Also a very interesting description of the achaeological (scientific) method working as it should work. (At least in the way the narrative is told.)
