John M. Saul has a Ph.D. in geology from M.I.T. (USA). In Kenya in the 1970s, he discovered what is now known as the John Saul Ruby Mine. He sees geology as an historical science and his research interests include subjects usually classified as historical. Dr Saul's writings, professional and popular, are focused on questions of origins. These include the origin of gemstones and why they are rare, the origin of large circular patterns dimly visible on the Earth's surface, and the concurrent origins of complex animals and cancer. Other subjects include the origin of religion as deciphered from the overlapping beliefs of the Bushman of southern Africa and the Hadza hunter-gatherers of Tanzania. He treats the origin of advanced civilizations - those with kings, cities, writing, and astronomical observations and recordings - as great collaborative attempts to organize the affairs of Earthbound mortals in accordance with the eternal heavens, "As Above, So Below". He also has an interest in 'mysteries' and has followed the enigmatic affair of Rennes-le-Château in France. Now in his eighties, Dr Saul lives in Paris and continues to pursue and publish his research.
