Interests include religion (sacred texts, mythologies, cults), prehistory, ancient history, human-animal interaction, unique animal behaviours, and languages. Favorite critters include mammals, invertebrates, flyers of various kinds and times. Sumo, bull-riding, strong man contests are favorite sports. I love the familiar and the unfamiliar – world literature, music genres (ska, glass harmonica, Korean, etc.), origin of life forms, origins of religions, exoplanets, various philosophies (history, science, religion), and ideologies.
