He should have sticked to his (good) research instead of linking it to the symbolic revolution. That was irresponsible.<br /><br />Thank you for the post :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12526057957510316183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22093933.post-89523628656038788942009-04-04T19:39:00.000-05:002009-04-04T19:39:00.000-05:00Howard, the guy you want to talk with is John Haw...Howard, the guy you want to talk with is John Hawks, who has an anthropology blog on human evolution (http://johnhawks.net/weblog/).

Has anybody serious examined that idea? What is the null hypothesis? <BR/><BR/>Some time, I'd like to call you and ask some questions about this. <BR/><BR/>Howard MetzenbergHoward_Metzenbloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12756523948174934058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22093933.post-1167742372772347022007-01-02T06:52:00.000-06:002007-01-02T06:52:00.000-06:00Thanks for your interest in this story!best wishes...Thanks for your interest in this story!<BR/><BR/>best wishes, Michael<BR/><BR/>http://www.michaelbalter.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
