Paul Dunbavin is a British author who specialises in cross-disciplinary research into ancient history and mythology; with a special interest in catastrophism.

One of this author's principles is that many of the theories put forward about catastrophism in human prehistory, Atlantis, etc, are based upon what he calls outmoded science. He prefers to argue afresh from a pattern of current evidence.

Another of this author's conjectures is that myths and legends can contain 'fossils', i.e. elements that can be compared with independent mythical or historical accounts, or even subjected to scientific examination, in order to extract real evidence about the past.

His books have attracted positive comments from those who agree with his approach and equally strong negative comment from professional academics.
