About cgosling

I am a retired medical/scientific illustrator and creator medical patient teaching simulators, who in retirement has given up illustration to write about science, superstition, and secular humanism. I consider myself all of the following: atheist, agnostic, secular humanist, freethinker, skeptic, and nature lover. I have several published books but the mass of my writing is unpublished. I write children's fiction, poetry, essays, and several plays and radio theater shows, that are available as free downloads to be used on secular podcasts and meetings. They can be heard on Indy Freethought Radio or on YouTube “secularradiotheater”. I hope some of my writings will be of interest to like minded freethinkers who I cordially invite to respond. I am also a Darwin impersonator. I invite you readers to listen to and use my Darwin script for secular purposes. Born and raised and schooled at McBurney Prep and Hunter ?College in Bronx, NYC. Graduate School, Medical Illustration, University of Illinois in Chicago. Employment at Indiana University School of Medicine from 1965 to 2001. At retirement I began writing poetry, short stories, essays, and fiction. I have been very active in my professional organizations, the Association of Medical Illustrators and also active in the Center For Inquiry, a secular/free thought organization. I also was an active contractor designer of exhibits and educational projects for the Indianapolis Zoo. Interests are in anthropology, evolution, all natural science.

Also, what does hybridization have to do with evolution, especially human evolution? What role did simbiogenesis play in evolution?
