Donna Hart
Bob was a wonderful academic because he was always seeking to push boundaries and never satisfied with current paradigms -- especially where human evolution was concerned. After my dissertation found evidence that predation was a major factor in primate ecology, Bob was enthusiastic to apply the findings to ancient hominins. His determination to reach a general audience with theories about the evolution of cooperative behaviors resulting from predation pressure resulted in our collaboration on Man the Hunted.
I thought it appropriate to copy one paragraph from the Acknowledgments section of Man the Hunted which, in a nutshell, says it all: "Donna Hart thanks Bob Sussman, and Bob likewise thanks Donna for our harmonious working relationship academically and our personal friendship through many years of mutual enthusiasm regarding primates, predation, and human evolution."
I am so grateful to have known and worked with Bob. As with so many others, I will miss him -- his ideas, his support, his guidance, and his friendship. -
