Sadly, I am not able to take part in the fieldwork myself so much anymore, as both of my legs were amputated following an airplane crash twelve years ago.

To me it's a question of being able to look backward and give the present a root... To give meaning to where we are today, we need to look at where we have come from.

To have arrived on this earth as a product of a biological accident, only to depart through human arrogance, would be the ultimate irony.

Paleoanthropology is not a science that ends with the discovery of a bone. One has to have the original to work with. It is a life-long task.

In the area of species protection, we should concern ourselves with what is right as opposed to what might be easier, or popular in the short term.

It's the next annihilation of vast numbers of species. It is happening now, and we, the human race, are its cause

I have been raised to believe in freedom of thought and speech. If a minority wishes to accept that position it's their right. What I fear is that this minority may seem to be larger than it truly is. What is strange is that there are still people who believe the world is not a globe.
