In case people wonder who the eccentric author of some of these pages are, I have included these links to
my bio on my other (Kheper) site, including:
A Disrespectable biography (read the latter at your peril)
my three main intellectual/creative interests:
|
|
Metaphysics
especially esotericism and occult cosmologies, and the theme of involution, evolution, and metamorphosis |
Science Fiction
whether reading, writing, or worldbuilding, including hard science space opera, my main project at the moment being the transhuman epic Orion's Arm |
Regarding the history of my paleo pages. These originally appeared on my Kheper site. Presently they are being combined with Toby's former Vertebrate Notes, to form the site you see before you. I feel that Toby and my work complement each other nicely. His being the more technical view and I the more general. He presents the cladistic case and I the Linnean. He delves into osteological minutiae and I like to explore ecological communities and dynasties through time. But what we share is a love of Earth History and a fascination with the marvelous parade of living organisms through geological time
The pages you see on this site are the dedication to that ideal, a love of knowledge for its own sake, and a desire to present that information to the world free of charge
