I am influenced by the nature of all animals and comparisons between them and humans. I am particularly interested in the unusual behavior of humans and from where expressions of the unusual have arisen. It is because of this that my latest book, "Dominance and Aggression in Humans and Other Animals," has been primarily put in the category of psychology. However, it was meant to have a more biological base since many of the comparisons were between humans and animals.

Have a Ph.D. in science, with over 20 books, 9 book chapters, and near 100 scientific papers to my credit, mostly in non-fiction. My last book was a comprehensive treatment of human behavior, called "Dominance and Aggression in Humans and Other Animals," by Elsevier. My passion is in science fiction, finding primitive humans, their suite of diverse personalities and deceptions, as well as all forms of human behavior, the roots of civilization, and the role humans have in our diverse universe.
