In fact I think this will be what happens at many colleges and
Universities, and to the extent that there is any formal recognition that
physical anthropology is of any value, including its Intro 101 or Intro
1001 course that makes Administrators happy because a couple of hundred
students show up, we should be happy to have something. In my baliwick,
physical anthropology is being replaced by what is called "biological
anthropology", which has mostly to do with empire building.
