Heather Trexler Remoff, Ph.D.
[2002]
Heather Remoff is an anthropologist with an interest in evolutionary
theory. While conducting empirical research for her dissertation, she
became convinced that Thomas Malthus had introduced a flawed
understanding of human evolution into Darwin's grand theory. A
Malthusian emphasis on numbers had caused Darwin to underestimate the
importance of economic behavior as a factor of evolution. After
receiving her Ph.D. from Rutgers in 1980, she began self-education in
economics. Only when she discovered Henry George did all the pieces
fall into place. Land is the missing link between economics and
biology. Remoff maintains that economics is a bio-social science that
is best understood from a Georgist perspective.
Remoff also received an MA in Sociology from the University of
Missouri and a BA in the same field from the Pennsylvania State
University. She is Assistant Editor with Lionel Tiger, Editor, of
Female Hierarchies (Beresford Book Service, 1978). She is the author
of Sexual Choice (E. P. Dutton, 1984) and of February Light (St
Martin's Press, 1997). She is currently working on a trilogy, The Fall
of Riddles, which uses fantasy to explore the role of land monopoly in
environmental destruction and class and gender conflicts. In Book
Three, a Georgist solution will be employed to achieve a just society.
Book One, Ravenheart, is completed and is under consideration by major
publishing houses.
Dr. Remoff's work has been reviewed and excerpted in numerous
periodicals in the United States and Canada and has been included in
several anthologies. The Chinese language edition of February Light
will be published in 2001. Remoff has discussed her original research
on human courtship behavior on over one hundred radio and TV talk
shows, including Today, Donahue, Merv Griffin, Regis Philbin, and
Sally Jessy Raphael. She has also been interviewed on a Discovery
Channel special and will discuss human evolution on a Learning Channel
special sometime in 2001.
Heather Remoff lives in Eagles Mere, PA with her husband, Gene.
