Although
it's been rumored that I crawled from beneath a rock in Texas' Big Bend, my development
and delivery actually took place in New York City. I was raised in Greenpoint, Brooklyn,
where early on, I concentrated my energies upon mastering ball-based games of the streets
(stoop ball, stick ball, slap ball, punch ball and off-the point), avoiding poison
in skellzies, navigating the subways,
haunting the American Museum of Natural History and New York City zoos, and acquiring that hard-edged
abrasiveness which almost all non-New Yorkers find so endearing. I schooled at St. Francis Prep in Brooklyn (now in Queens and now with girls! Go Terriers!), Fordham University in The Bronx (Go Rams!) and at Texas A&M University (Gig 'em, Aggies). My first love was Chemistry--well, actually it was a girl named Marge. I switched to Biology relatively late in my academic life. An interest in the evolution of mammals, and more so the process of evolutionary change, drove my earliest studies in Biology. I'm now a student of anything that evolution touches (which would be just about everything, wouldn't you say?) with a special interest in understanding the evolution of human behavior.
