Terry, I would really love to talk about this stuff, and I will, but I can't right now. This is just to say that I have recently discovered that the Human Behavior and Evolution Society [HBES] has a web page and a mailing list. The list is for members only, and I'm joining. This may be the only professional organization/field where my type of anthropological studies are known/understood/welcome. Web address is "http://psych.lmu.edu/hbes.htm". If anybody asks, I'll email the HBES info sheet that I got off their page, or tell you more about what they are/do. The official journal is called Ethology and Sociobiology. I really don't think it deserves the inflammatory reputation that's often attached to the demonized term 'sociobiology'. I'm not familiar with the Darwin list that Tom Waters mentioned, but I plan to do a web search and will report back. Ken, please do send me your biblio, and I'll reciprocate. I have a long list of recent publications [since 1992] on the uses of evolutionary ecology in anthropology, which I am currently updating. Oh, yeah, EE is neo-darwinian study of plant/animal behavior/structure, and neo-darwinian theory is explicitly into focus on the individuals and their interactions, including the very careful use of optimization, CBA, game theory, etc. Try to toast me gently over the coals, if any of you really feel the need, but recall that I'm a socialist too. I think I'll go contemplate that apparent contradiction myself, over some Ben and Jerry's. Rainforest Crunch, that is, ecologically safe decadence... Lisa From: Terrence Mc Donough <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: CBA and evolutionary theory Is there a list or site where these issues are discussed? Terry McDonough From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [snip] I would be interested in references to the use of CBA in anthropology, or any other references that deal with the conceptual and philosophical issues involved in CBA. I have a short biblio that I can email people if they are interested in the area.
