Dinosaurs and rocks were popular guesses, and others equated all of anthropology with archaeology. The best guess that I've heard so far came from a colleague today: that it's about "civilizations." Note that most book stores don't have a strong "anthropology" section compared to "history" and "literature" or even "cooking" and "self-help." <br /><br />I honestly don't know how it could be countered except, perhaps, with more press. My community paper accepts press releases from locals all the time, but it has to, of course, be locally relevant. I don't know what it's like in larger towns. They definitely don't want to read abstract academic papers.S.G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03122134911991376841noreply@blogger.com
