About the author










Nací el 19 de marzo de 1971 en Azerbaiyán Oriental, en Tabriz. Además de mis estudios académicos, me interesaba el tamaño de los animales/plantas y el efecto de la gravedad de la Tierra en su tamaño. A partir de 1990, empecé a escribir artículos en este campo. En 2000 y 2001 publiqué dos libros: "Gravedad terrestre y evolución animal" y "El ABC de la evolución".
