Klint Janulis

Klint is an Archaeologist, former US Marine and US Army Special Forces soldier, survival scientist and amateur chef. A jack of all trades, he learned to work with his hands growing up on a farm in rural Kansas before attending college to play football, failing out after his first year. After working concrete and construction jobs, he embarked on a 14-year career in the military, participating in the invasion of Iraq as part of a WMD search team. He subsequently returned to Iraq for two more tours on a Special Forces (Green Berets) A-team, engaging in numerous combat operations. His military training included high performance and off-road driving, trauma medicine, tracking, french language, covert photography, close-target reconnaissance, and primitive survival skills instruction. After his military career, he returned to college, completing his undergraduate degree with honors, with a major in Anthropology, and a minor in geology at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs. Upon completing his degree, he was accepted to the University of Oxford doctoral program at the Institute of Archaeology, where he is finishing his thesis on stone age technologies, cognition, and human behavior in prehistory. Klint has hosted and consulted on several television programs in the UK and has been an expert and host for a variety of shows in the US. He has also given interviews for a number of UK and international news organizations, where he uses analysis of human and social cognition to weigh in on a variety of topics from an anthropological perspective. He has also written a children's book on the stone age and contributed to several other books on related topics. He is the Co-Director of the Center for Cognitive Archeology at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs, and lives with his wife, Amanda and their neurotic dog, Ringo in a village in rural England. His other academic interests are mycology, the history of food, social insect behavior, and experimental archaeology. Show less «
