By PSR

I retired from a 34-year career as an evolutionary anthropologist specializing in the behavioral ecology of non-human primates as a perspective on human evolutionary history. I love music, wood, tools, and especially guitars, so I retired to learn to build guitars and to build them for the rest of my able years.
