Lyall Watson

Lyall Watson (born 12 April 1939 – died 25 June 2008) was a South African botanist, zoologist, biologist, anthropologist, ethologist, and author of many new age books, among the most popular of which is the best seller Supernature. Lyall Watson tried to make sense of natural and supernatural phenomena in biological terms. He is credited with coining the "Hundredth Monkey" phenomenon (an idea that has since been discredited) in his 1979 book, Lifetide.
