Bryant, I would check out your own anthro department's, even those
selectionsists, reaction to being termed *sociobiologists*. Really is
considered a *dirty word*, even more so than *marxist* ;-D.

As far as Rindos, he's one of the top *selectionist* archaeologists, (a
student of Dunnell, whom I assume you _have_ heard of, as the foremost
selectionist in the field whom Lenny can quote chapter and verse <g>)
and a well-renowned expert on the origins of agriculture.
