Well, I think that this sarcastic reply helps no one. This debate is
clearly void of any scientific merit or relevance and such whimsical
responses only make these esteemed scientists more mephatic in their
replies. I too joined this list for actual anthropological dialogue, not
psuedo-science that I thought Franz Boas had eliminated nearly a century
ago. If anything, this equally inane debate that we today see is
actually more worthy of anthropological study than IQ and brain size.
I think that one could actually do an interesting and much more
anthropological study in how and why Americans ever find something like
the "Bellcurve" interesting. I think that a real ethnographer could find
some facinating overlap of science, religion, kinship and all that other
nice stuff we are supposed to be studying as Anthropologists
