About the author


Maria Brigit O’Hare lives in Spiddal, Galway, Ireland, with her son and partner. In her  spare-time, when she is not researching, writing and publishing books/blogging on alternative evolution and the lesser known history of Neo-Darwinism and its relevance today,  she regularly plays Irish Traditional music (concertina) in and around local pubs.

Maria was born and raised in Belfast from the mid-sixties, and after finally escaping from school at the grand age of just 16 without any qualifications, she spent the next 16 years in community arts and performing with various circus groups, until the opportunity finally arose, after building up the necessary entrance qualifications and learning to learn, for her to fulfill a life-long dream of going to university. She attended Queen’s in Belfast in the late nineteen-nineties, with a small child on-board and after receiving a first class honours in archaeology, she was then offered a place on a post-doctoral study course in the same subject, which she successfully completed and was awarded her doctoral degree in 2005. Through this research, she later she became a free-lance researcher in archaeology, working for different commercial contract archaeology companies as well as research units within academic institutions.
