Hello, I am Applodion.
About me
[edit]My particular interests include history, politics, religion, biology (especially evolution), and psychology. Of these topics, I am most proficient in regard to the first two, so these are the fields in which I mostly contribute on Wikipedia. My interest in human history is almost universal, though I mostly work on Middle Eastern, East Asian and African history articles on Wikipedia, as these topics are chronically underrepresented despite the great work of several dedicated Wikipedians.
