You might want to read Dr. Turnbull's body of work before being so dismissive.

Thompson, my dismissiveness comes from having to read dozens of ethnographies of that era (1960's for The Forest People), most of which saw their population as timeless and static. When later anthropologists would go to study them, they had always changed. On top of that, my understanding of functionalism and structural-functionalism leads me to believe that I will be able to predict what kind of analyses Turnbull is going to do, particularly since he studied under Evans-Pritchard, functionalist extraordinaire. However, you're absolutely right. I know nothing about this particular ethnographer, so I'll pick up The Mbuti Pygmies: Change and Adaptation, his 1983 work from the library*. On the reverse, I'd urge you to read a bit about the trends I've mentioned to get a broader perspective.

*That wasn't meant to sound sarcastic, btw. That he studied under Evans Pritchard is the extent of my current knowledge on Turnbull.

It's the incredible fuckin' thread.

It seems to be dead on it's feet; nevertheless, someone comes along to revive it. Anything will do: reptoids, brown shirts etc.

Najakcharmer,

I normally love your posts, but I am sitting here in a deep state of shock and revulsion at the idea that you would wish to pollute the Repitilian gene pool with that man's DNA.

lucern: refering to your post 540
last paragraph first. I said racism not race.

As for paragraph 1 once again I am in mind boggle territory. My original point was that social cultural physical intellectual indicators have all been interpreted to mean that racial divisions exist within the human species by definition.

If those characteristics that we see in say Afro Caribbeans are defined as being racial identifiers then that definition cannot be refuted by recognising that the genotype of this group is similar to that of another group defined as being of another race with different identifiers
That argument transcends PC thinking and is logically true,

Whether that definition was enthusiasticaly subscribed to by those that made it simply because it supported their own sense of self worth or prejudice again is irrelevant.

Your posts are seemingly so calm and yet so opaque it worries me that I may well be not understanding what you are trying to say.

Yeah, I guess breeding lizards that are het for evil is probably a bad idea. That, and they would be remarkably ugly.

I am not being sarcastic or anything -but am commenting because: I am amazed - I was gone out of town for almost a week, and this thread is still going strong! Must be a really good thread!

So - Did you guys figure out yet if there are races in humanity? Or not? (just teasing ya'll, no offense intended).

Yes we figured out that there is no 'race' biologically and that it is a human belief (and will) to believe that there are 'races' at all. We made progress, and I washed my hair.

Maybe there is a God :-) ?
