Autorenporträt

Richard G. Delisle has earned two doctorates-one in philosophy of science from the Université de Montréal and the other in paleoanthropology from the University of Witwatersrand in South Africa-but, at the same time, he likes to get his hands dirty. He has worked on archeological digs in the south of France and paleontological excavations in the western United States.
