I was born in Shillong, Assam, India in December 1941, son of a tea-planter. I was educated at the Dragon School, Oxford, Sedbergh School Yorkshire. I went to Oxford University where I read history (M.A., D.Phil), and then anthropology at London University (M.Phil., Ph.D.). I became a Senior Research Fellow at King's College, Cambridge in 1971 and a Lecturer, then Reader, then Professor of Anthropology at Cambridge. I became a Fellow of the British Academy in 1986 and am now Emeritus Professor of Anthropological Science and Life Fellow of King's College. I have published about twenty books, put up over 800 films on Youtube, have a large website at www.alanmacfarlane.com I travel a good deal to Nepal, Japan, China and elsewhere and am interested in filming, computer databases and other things. My hobbies are walking and gardening. I work on all my many projects with my wife Sarah. If you want to see a slice of my life, look for my very recently published volumes of autobiography, 'Dorset Days' and 'Dragon Days'.
