Dr Vija Sodera is a surgeon, public speaker and author of the book One Small Speck to Man ~ the evolution myth.
Although he was taught evolution at school and university, Vija has always been concerned that the idea is based on the most tenuous and unconvincing foundations, and the first edition of One Small Speck to Man ~ the evolution myth was the result of 14 years’ rigorous exploration of the scientific evidence.
His natural history studies have taken him to East Africa, Canada, Florida, Iceland and Israel, where he has photographed diverse wildlife and geology. All the artwork and diagrams in One Small Speck to Man ~ the evolution myth are his own work, in addition to the anatomical dissections and most of the photographs.
