The piece notes how benevolent actions by people have unintended ecological harm. It cites Mormon wagon sunflowers in Iowa, Scotch thistles in Victoria, Hessian fly from Revolution-era grain losses, phylloxera spread by a careless planter, pepper greens in New Zealand, sparrow introductions in New York and South America, and argues natural selection sometimes guides humans and animals to fit a place.
