Детство и юность провёл в Африке, куда когда-то переехали его родители по экономическим соображениям. Отслужив в армии, Роджер первоначально планировал стать медиком и поступил в университет г. Кейптауна (ЮАР). После полутора лет обучения он отчислился и занялся педагогикой. В 1959 г. переехал в Великобританию, изучал зоологию, биохимию и морскую биологию.
