Anthropology

Even as a child, I read about other cultures and languages because I was exposed to one language besides English at home, and a couple different cultures in my extended family, plus another language and culture in my neighborhood.

My older brothers got me interested in natural history and fossils from what they learned in Boy Scouts. We had a lot of opportunities to explore nature even though we grew up in a city. My grandfather had a farm and most of my father's siblings lived in rural areas.

I minored in anthropology in college and try to keep up with developments in evolution since then.
