Timothy Taylor (archaeologist)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Timothy Taylor (born 1960) is a lecturer in Archaeology at the University of Bradford, and an author of popular books on anthropology. He has presented his work on television. The British Archaeological Award winner for "best popular archaeology on television" 1991 was a "Down to Earth" episode on which he appeared. One of his pet ideas is "that prominent male genitals and female breasts developed to aid recognition of the opposite sex in creatures of similar size and shape".[1]
