Hi Wikipedia users, i'm CoolInu43. I live in the beautiful state of Colorado. I became a user because I wanted to help Wikipedia become a better place in areas such as adding information to places that seem that need it (ex. orphan pages, pages with almost no content or sources). It's pretty fun and i'm learning so much along the way! Have fun everyone!

Charles Henry Turner (February 3, 1867 – February 14, 1923) was an American zoologist, entomologist, educator, and comparative psychologist, known for his studies on the behavior of insects, particularly bees and ants. Born in Cincinnati, Turner was the first African American to receive a graduate degree at the University of Cincinnati and among the first African Americans to earn a PhD from the University of Chicago. He spent most of his career as a high-school teacher at Sumner High School in St. Louis. Turner was one of the first scientists to systematically examine the question of whether animals display complex cognition, studying arthropods such as spiders and bees. He also examined differences in behavior between individuals within a species, a precursor to the study of animal personality. This 1921 portrait photograph of Turner is in the collection of The Crisis, the magazine of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).Photograph credit: The Crisis; restored by Adam Cuerden
