What amuses me most is that, of the comments I bothered to read, most seemed to be most upset by precisely what he said would upset them: his contention that anthropology isn't a "real" science. Can we say "jab hit the target" much?
(For the record, I think there's all sorts of good in the "soft sciences", but when they pretend to have the predictive qualities of physics, they start to look pretty silly.)
Meanwhile, I'm curious. How long before a burial ground — Native American or otherwise — becomes fair game for desecration — or even just archaeological excavation?
