Was this figure well known in the history of western Australia?
Jean-Paul Turcaud (c. 1940–2020) was a French mining pioneer, and one of many claimants to the discovery of the Telfer Mine in Western Australia, for a time Australia's largest gold mine. The discovery of this prospect was attributed by Newmont Mining to David Tyrwhitt in 1972.

He has some rather interesting and provocative ideas in a wide variety of other sciences.
Especially in biology, organic chemistry, endocrinology and ethnology ("race").
Anyone here familiar with him?
Some "offbeat" musings and considerations.
A bit of a "mashup" as they say.
Sometimes called "brainstorming".
