Stephen Palmer

Stephen Palmer's early training was in science, notably physics, but upon publication of his debut genre novel in 1996 he found himself drawn into the publishing world. Since then he has made a lengthy and notable contribution to British genre novels. Recently he has made a move into narrative nonfiction, firstly into music books - music being his main other passion - but more recently into prehistory, history, and anthropology.

His main area of expertise is the evolution of consciousness. His Substack covers that, and aspects of the human condition. As an evolutionist, he follows Nicholas Humphrey’s evolutionary explanation, which he merges with a humanist perspective on the human condition informed in part by the work of Erich Fromm.

He is the author of I am Taurus , published by Collective Ink Books.
