I am a retired professor of Anthropology at the University of Toronto, but continue to research and to write. My specialization was in primate social behaviour, and I say, without modesty, that I was the first person to discover that non-human primates [macaques] experience orgasm, and one of the first to identify cognitive processes in the field situation in monkeys. In the recent past I have become particularly interested in epigenetics, and have recently completed an article on that subject as it relates to Anthropology. My book on FIRE: THE SPARK THAT IGNITED HUMAN EVOLUTION took six years to research and publish. It examines the ASSOCIATION with fire by the earliest of bipedal human forebears. That association changed forever the pattern of evolution as LIGHT from fire entered the eye and changed the cascade of hormones that respond to day-light cycles. I am working on developing this further and also on whether China's myth of MONKEY KING intimates evolutionary thinking where biology was not a discipline.
