Extract

Stephen J. Culver was born, nurtured, and educated in the United Kingdom. Both his bachelor's and doctoral degrees are from the University of Wales, Swansea, where he had the good fortune to study with the eminent micropaleontologist Fred Banner. Jobs for paleontologists are, evidently, perennially scarce, and in 1976 when he earned his Ph.D., he was unemployed. Consequently, he began his career by driving a lorry. Fortunately for all of us, he quickly learned that his training did not uniquely qualify him for this endeavor. Within a year he secured a post as Lecturer in Geology at the University of Sierra Leone.
