Born in Paris in 1938, but still young, he moved to Canada. Julie Oakes said in 2007: Daniel Hanequand threw out the old and created a new sociology with the arrogance of a true revolutionary French. He was released from the forms "boring" and established and invented a different race of humanoid and then put the relations of these beings, in a context with its own creation.
