摘要

[节选]他一直是个谦虚的人，但肯是个天才，是我们所知道的最坚强的人。他在精神上也格外慷慨。他奉献自己、时间和来之不易的知识储备的方式在他的朋友和同事中堪称传奇。我们钦佩他，我们爱他。肯是世界著名的比较解剖学家、脊椎动物系统学家、古生物学家和动物考古学家。他是一个解决问题的人，是我们见过的少数人，也是一个出色的现场工作者和世界旅行者。肯的个人和职业观拥抱了整个世界，包括它的所有真实方面和味道，它的复杂性和怪癖——当我们来到这个世界时，他带着这个世界，带着我们所有人。他的学术声誉远远超出了澳大利亚，成千上万的同事都知道他，他们可能从来没有机会见到他。

The lives of creatures obscure, misunderstood, and wonderful: a volume in honour of Ken Aplin 1958–2019

[Excerpt] He was always a modest man, but Ken was a genius and the toughest man we knew. He was also extraordinarily generous of spirit. The way he gave of himself, his time, and his hard-won stores of knowledge, was legendary amongst his friends and colleagues. We admired him and we loved him. Ken was a world-renowned comparative anatomist, vertebrate systematist, palaeontologist, and zooarchaeologist. He was a problem solver like few we’ve ever met, and a fieldworker and world traveller par excellence. Ken’s personal and professional outlook embraced the whole world, in all its true facets and flavours, its complexities and eccentricities—he took the world, and all of us in it, as we came. His intellectual reputation extended well beyond Australia and was known to thousands of colleagues who may never have had the chance to meet him.
