Dave,

I can't make much sense out of your above post. I do wish you would learn to use the quote feature so as to make it clear exactly who is saying what.

Beyond that, I find your assumptions about anthropologists to be unsupported and unsupportable. Assuming that your words are the italicized words, then you say:

Quote

"It makes no sense to you at the moment because you do not yet appreciate the historiographical background to your subjects. Also, I assure you, my background is real and scholarly, I just don't go around boasting about it"

Besides the fact that I find this quite arrogant on your part (I happen to have a degree in anthropology and I studied the history of anthropology as a requirement for that degree), I would like to know what your formal training is. You have made numerous statements on this board attacking an assortment of professional scholars who, you are certain, are all wrong and who, in your mind, have all been brainwashed by 19th century German scholars. So what degrees do you hold, what level, what subjects?
