From his textbook “Evolutionary Dynamics: Exploring The Equations of Life.” In the last sentence of the preface, after a couple dozen acknowledgements that are literally just a list of names, he has one last special thanks that gets its own paragraph:

“I thank Jeffrey Epstein for many ideas and for letting me participate in his passionate pursuit of knowledge in all its forms”

The book was published in October 2006.

In May 2006, Palm Beach police filed a probable cause affidavit that Epstein should be charged with four counts of unlawful sex with minors and one count of sexual abuse.

Maybe the draft was from before May and they didn't change it? lol.

You'd think someone who was good buddies with Epstein would know about his legal troubles. If he were smart, he'd have been demanding his publisher let him change that dedication after he found out what Epstein was charged with.
