Hello everyone. I'm from Texas. Huge fan of science. I am heavily influenced by Carl Sagan. My personal most burning passion is the study of human evolution. I don't do it as a living because I want to keep enjoying it. hehe. Anyways, glad to be here with you guys.

Hi Watcher. I am from New Zealand. Do you have qualifications in biology? Just asking because it relates to your favourite topic.

No, I do not. I'm in the IT industry. I have spent time studying biology, organic chemistry, microbiology, and evolution extensively though. I tend to focus primarily on human evolution. However, I have no professional qualifications on it at all.

Welcome to the forum. It is your knowledge rather than formal qualifications that counts. I will look forward to your questions, queries and comments.

hey new dude,

 

you don't need any qualifications at all here, just an interest in some loosely science related topic(which could be anything).

 

don't let the occasional crackpot that stumbles onto these forums and starts denouncing relativity/evolution/gravity/plate tectonics put you off, go on an take a swing at them with logic, its pointless but fun and good practice for making logical arguements

Welcome to SFN... where the men are real men, the women are real women are where we always take our science seriously. <a statement by ecoli>

For someone interested in human evolution, here is a good reference
