a PhD in ecology and evolutionary biology (University of Arizona in Tucson) and a BS in
biological sciences (Cornell University), Chris became an international non-profit
organization leader (President of Freedom from Hunger, 1991-2011) and researcher-author in
microfinance and public health, culminating in his 2012-13 online review of anti-poverty
impacts of microfinance, The Evidence Project: What We're Learning About Microfinance
and World Hunger.
Chris's passion for the natural world led to his academic research focus on the ecology
and evolution of social behavior in animals and humans, resulting in several peer-reviewed
articles on sciurid rodents and co-authorship with H. Ronald Pulliam of Programmed to
Learn: An Essay on the Evolution of Culture (Columbia University Press, 1980). From age
six, Chris has been an avid birder, which led to his book, Life List: A Birder's Spiritual
Awakening (Novalis, 2006). His current focus is on intellectual history, philosophy of
religion, and the lives of Charles and Emma Darwin.view less
