X-Message-Number: 4565 Date: 28 Jun 95 23:18:19 EDT From: Jim Davidson <> Subject: My background My, my, my, what a compliment. Did Mike Darwin just say that _I_ seem to know a great deal about evolutionary biology? I think he did. Not good for my humility quota. My background includes graduating summa cum laude from high school, matriculating to Columbia University as a John Jay Scholar and National Merit Scholar where I got a BA in American History (minoring in astrophysics). In 1987, I finished my MBA at Rice, worked for 4 years in aerospace, and have done sundry other things since including teaching at community colleges. Most of what I know about human predatory behavior I learned from reading John Campbell's editorials in _Analog_, various fact articles, and such. I know rather a great deal about human origins from my anthropology studies at Columbia and from my personal interest in early human culture. _National Geographic_ and _Scientific American_ contributed prominently to my knowledge base. But enough about me. What's really interesting is the future. Though I plan to figure in the future for the next few thousand years, I'm not expecting to be all that prominent.
