Audio History Topic Outline
In thinking about topics for his audio history, I am struck by the remarkable breadth and depth of my father’s life. What follows is just a start, a fraction of the possible topics on which I know he could expound (and propound). And any one of them probably could serve for many hours of discourse. I expect to add to it myself and from your suggestions.

Hi Brian,
Thanks for getting us thinking about this. I would love the chance to hear Clark talk about his early days when he was publishing his ideas on the evolutionary significance of the Neandertals. Those papers, when he was so young, pre-PhD I think, have been really important in the field - and I have often wondered what the young man was thinking as he worked up those ideas - whether he had any inkling of where they might take him, or the influence they might have etc.
