title: For I Am Human: An Uncommon Look At Our Common Heritage
author: Darko J. Cukrov
description: Born in 1953, Darko J. Cukrov is a product of post-war Croatia of the early 1950's, a time when old-world morality came face-to-face with the brash idealism and turmoil of the new Communist state. As the third child of a former Roman Catholic priest and his American-born wife, his family emigrated to New York and the United States when he was nine . . . just in time to be a part of the era that experienced the Kennedy assassinations and the social movements, the space race, and economic upheaval of the early 1960's. He grew up in Yonkers, New York and in 1974 earned a B.S. in Biology from S.U.N.Y. at Stony Brook, before becoming a Medical Laboratory Technologist at Yonkers General Hospital. In 1978 he moved to the West and eventually settled in Reno, Nevada . . . where he married in 1987 and became the father of two boys. The marriage was not a happy one, and ended in divorce in 2007. As a fervent introvert and devoted family man, the next few years were spent being a caretaker for his aging mother and trying to make sense of it all ... discovering a Humanist philosophy and pursuing life-long interests in early human civilizations, psychology, evolution, and universal truth.
