Thread Name: We cannot have an opinion
Subject: RE: We cannot have an opinion
I have now had time to read through that wikipedia article that Jack linked (Behavioural Modernity ) and some other stuff on the internet (including this , which seems to be written for a general readership)

I am profoundly unconvinced. It all reads too much like seeking out evidence for a theory rather than putting the evidence together and coming up with a theory that fits.

I will stick to science thank you, and I don't regard some anthropology and archeology as properly scientific, especially in the way it is written up. Theories with inadequate evidence. Paradigms shifting a little too fequently.
