AUSTRALIAN ZOOLOGIST
Flannery received a B.A. in
English literature from La Trobe University, Melbourne, and he pursued postgraduate studies in geology before changing his focus to
zoology and
paleontology. He earned an M.Sc. (1981) from Monash University in Clayton, Vic., and a Ph.D. (1985) from the University of New South Wales in Sydney. Flannery’s doctoral studies involved the evolution of kangaroos and related animals, and in 1985 he took part in the first discovery of Australian mammal fossils from the
Cretaceous Period, which were more than 80 million years older than previously known specimens. From 1984 to 1999 Flannery was the principal research scientist in
mammalogy at the Australian Museum in Sydney.
During this period he explored remote areas of
Papua New Guinea, and
