Having interacted with a few anthropologists--and even more people (like, I am ashamed to say, my younger daughter)--with an utterly unmarketable anthropology degree I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, but still . . . one would think that social "scientists" who purport to take an objective and dispassionate view of other cultures must count a higher proportion of rational thinkers among them. I find it depressing that people like these get to set the tone for how the West's cognitive "elites" think about matters like the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.<br /><br />P. S.: In all fairness to the subset of the profession made up of _physical_ anthropologists, they are a different species from the _cultural_ variety . . . and truly fascinating to talk to about the work they do, e.g., deducing what a human being did for a living from small peculiarities in the tuberosities of his/her centuries-old skeleton.
