I have no idea. I don't think they are anyone famous. A web search has only turned up links to the UK census and historic documents. Do you have any other information about this person such as where they lived, in what context you came across their name, age etc etc. There are lots of websites that can help you track down people, both living and dead, but you need a little bit more than just a name.

Most stone age societies enjoyed a pantheon of spirits and gods. It wasn't until way into the age of the sword and plow, that a monotheistic God, demanded blind devotion, at the exclusion of all others. So no, I don't think blind faith was much help to a cave man, a million years ago. Nor did it help the stone age societies of America, or Australia over the last three or four centuries.\n\nThe intellectual equivalent of stone tools, would be art. Art is the mother of inspiration, and quite nescessary, for man to understand his world. And the sky. And spirit.\n\nProphets paint pictures in peoples minds, that span continents, and centuries. Images move empires.

Yes.  Not only are you asking a question in a very rude way, how the heck are we supposed to know who Gerald Durrell is?  Sounds like you're getting frustrated with the answering community over your own poorly-worded question.  Try to be clear and specific, and you might do better.
