5 advanced degrees?? Doesn't seem plausible

He has[0]:

- Bachelors, Masters and M.Phil in Zoology from Madras Christian College

- Masters in Medical Anthropology from Harvard

- Doctorate in Ecological Sciences from Old Dominion

- Doctorate in History of Science from Harvard

As long as you accept that a Master's is considered an advanced degree (I do FWIW), he doesn't seem to be lying about it.

Definition of advanced can be rather loose
