Robinson, John dearly loved husband of Sybil and beloved father of Richard and Peter, (now deceased) passed to his higher self, most peacefully at home on, October 12, 2001. Professor of Zoology and Anthropology at UW-Madison, 1963-83, he influenced research on human evolution and helped usher in a modern age of Paleoanthropology. The South African native uncovered hundreds of fossils from the Transvaal region in the ‘40’s and ‘50’s, the most important being the famous skull ‘Mrs. Ples’ which represents the missing link between ape man and true man. His 85 publications on hominid evolution between 1947 and 1972 are among the important works signaling a catalyst in human evolutionary studies. His views appear in all anthropology textbooks and have become part of human evolutionary thought. In 1980 he suffered a near death experience, which left him with a deep appreciation of spiritual values. He pursued this new direction passionately until the time of his death. God speed, Johno.
