Andrew Lawler is an American journalist and author. He has written about science, archaeology[1][2], politics[3], and history for several publications, including National Geographic[4][5], The New York Times[6], Smithsonian (magazine)[7][8], and Science (journal)|Science[9] (where he is a contributing writer[10]). He twice won the Gene S. Stuart Award from the Society for American Archaeology[11][12], and his articles have been included in The Best American Science and Nature Writing series[13][14]. Lawler’s 2014 debut, which Kirkus calls “a splendid book”[15], Why Did the Chicken Cross the World?, tells the history of what Lawler argues is the world’s most important animal[16]. His 2018 book, The Secret Token: Myth, Obsession, and the Search for the Lost Colony of Roanoke, which explores the first English attempt to settle the New World, is described as an “enjoyable historical adventure”[17] in which “the themes of mingled races, of cultures clashing to create something new, are surprisingly fresh and powerful.”[18]. The Secret Token is a national bestseller[19][20] that elicited both praise[21] and criticism[22][23] for his contention that the first English child born in the New World remains a symbol of white supremacy.
