This page came about as a result of the fact that I am beginning to follow my dream of getting a degree in Anthropology. It is my hope that those who are also interested in this field will find some information and links here useful. This page will cover my interest in specific aspects of anthropology and will be divided accordingly into primatology, archaeology, and forensics.

My interest in primatology developed through reading the writings of Dian Fossey, who studied the mountain gorillas of the Virunga Mountains in Africa, Jane Goodall, who studied the chimpanzees at Gombe, and Birute Galdikas, who studied the orangutans of Borneo. The strength of these three women, their stories, and the results of their work have all had a profound effect on me.

My interest in archaeology developed as a result of my interests in ancient cultures and religion, which goes back to my childhood. I have always had a natural curiousity and interest in things from the past. I think it is important to learn from the past, so that we might better guide our future.

I have kept up with the findings in Egypt by Dr. Zahi Hawass, Dr. Kent Weeks, and Dr. Bob Brier over the years. I have also kept up, with great interest, the biblical archaeological quests, like the search for Noah's Ark and the Ark of the Covenant. I am also fascinated by the art and architecture of the Greeks and Romans, rock art, and stone circles. What more can I say except that archaeology "covers alot of ground"!
