The latter included reviews of the evolution of plants, invertebrates and vertebrates and the specific adaptations of animals to their environment. For the last 15 years he has been doing research on pseudoscorpions, tiny (2-8 mm) relatives of spiders and scorpions.
He is also a committed Christian.
He lives with his wife, Elza, in Louis Trichardt (=Makhado) in the Limpopo Province of South Africa. They have three sons (one in Britian, one in the USA and one in Cape Town), of whom two are married, and four grandchildren.view less
