I just wanna point out that I was not taking a position on whether anthropology is a SOCIAL science or not. Just that the original poster was claiming scientific evidence, in a way that implied it was from the biological / 'hard' sciences, and that I would like to see said evidence. Respect to anthropology, and respect to people researching TEK and sustainability (one of my personal passions, I might add) - let's just avoid making claims about human nature that label a whole group of people as less than human. -- Barry Saunders ---- http://investigativeblog.net http://gatewatching.org http://youdecide2007.org ---- PhD Candidate // researcher http://creativeindustries.qut.edu.au http://eprints.qut.edu.au/view/person/Saunders,_Barry.html ph: 07 3138 0155 skype: barry_saunders CRICOS No. 00213J
