Unrecognised, ignored and forgotten. The Forgotten Scientist: The
Story of Saul Sithole is the untold story of a pioneering black
scientist who made a great contribution to the fields of
anthropology and ornithology in South Africa. Saul Sithole was so

stop him from giving 62 years of his life to the scientific world
of birds and fossils. Saul never received the official recognition
he deserved - until now. This book validates his contribution,
sharing his life's work and laying out a story that will inspire
future generations of scientists. This book would not have been
possible without the support of Biblionef and funding from the
National Heritage Council.
