The enterprise of socio-cultural anthropology began with a series of explorers and adventurers, like Sir Richard Burton and Frederick Ruxton. Even they disagreed fundamentally about culture and nature. Perhaps these are the first lessons we should teach aspiring young anthropologists. I can empathize entirely with Napoleon Chagnon, as he was one fairly close to my academic tribe, though I was never one of the "Boys of Biology" and sociobiological studies who had put E. O. Wilson upon an academic pedestal. Nevertheless, I cannot discount the role and importance in both theory and method played by the concept of not just "gene-culture co-evolution," (Luigi Cavalli-Sforza) but perhaps more importantly of gene-culture counter-adaptation, and thus, of human selection being unique in the evolutionary mansion of the earth biosphere. The main point of this work and this entire series (Indie Alternative Anthropology) being that we should never completely discount or disparage the role that "self," or more precisely, of anthropological ego, has played in the shaping of not just the world and worldview of anthropology, but also, for better or worse, the lives and memories of many others in that world.
