Re:
EPSTEIN.docx
Importance: High
perhaps i misunderstood "let's concentrate on you"
Jamaica is bad enough but i have mastered that—at least the danger-4th highest murder rate in the world
as for the us i have alienated large stretches of it—i will spare you the details
i was amused that you are now friends with JD Watson
he single-handedly prevented me from getting a Junior Fellowship at Harvard
In 1972 I got my PhD in Biology and it was conventional to nominate the very best post-docs for a Junior
Fellowship, Harvard's most prestigious award—it provided three years of research support without any duties. I
was the best student out of Evolutionary and Organismic Biology in more than 20 years. The entire department
was behind me.
but Watson was on the 3-man committee, in charge of all the science candidates and he deemed my two papers,
reciprocal altruism and parental investment and sexual selection as "not being science" and dismissed me in one
sentence. Well bless his soul, he now does not even understand his own subject—yes, i speak of genetics—
because having remained resolutely ignorant of evolutionary logic and biology he can neither understand the
shape and form of the genotype nor how it differs systematically within life
i have been preparing something for you for a long time on human intelligence, Africa, parasites etc because i
prefer to get things right but i am ready to send you what i have
main focus is—Africans stupid or smart?

Many thanks. By all means let's concentrate on me and not Trump. If Enhanced Learning can make its annual
gift of 30 that would have a huge positive effect on me and my future. Let the market take care of itself All

finally landed
very unpleasant journey
you had nothing to do with how Chapman acted and i apologise for suggesting it might be otherwise
it was entirely against me, partly motivated by a spiteful ex-friend
consulted two lawyers that Gordon recommended but they were very discouraging
the basic problem is simple—i am going against a strong national trend—well-known man after well-known man is being brought low for alleged
his misbehaviour toward women—in some case well-deserved prison time (Cosby and perhaps Weinstein) in many other cases, simply being run
out of institutions—exactly my fate
furthermore in he say/she say confrontations the evidence has shifted—in University settings at least—from 'beyond a reasonable doubt' to a
'preponderance of evidence' to 'more positive than negative'
the loss is huge, on the order of a half million to a million dollars, meant to keep me alive (they were going to offer a five-year contract) while i let
my 'inheritance' be spent on children and grandchildren while also growing
i have no choice but to work
i will get my revised Wild Life to an agent later this week—have added 5 new chapters and a few sections—much stronger for the inclusion of my
major scientific work-1. social theory based on natural selection and 2. selfish genetic elements selected within organisms
then i have Honour Killings set to roll, as well as another one
hope you are thriving—and also hope Trump will stop this international trade nonsense—a lose/lose war—especially as it affects the stock market
or so it seems to me
best wishes
