This episode covers the degeneracy theory of acclaimed 18th century naturalist Comte de Buffon, who argued that the cold and wet American environment was not conducive to growing giant mammals. His greatest nemesis was none other than Thomas Jefferson, who would stop at nothing, including shipping a decaying moose across the Atlantic, to teach these French snobs that that Mammalian Americans (are) Great Already.
