Four Essays: Redefining Racism; Science Is Dumb, or, We're All Scientists; The Control Illusion; So You Want to Be a Hunter Gatherer?

by David Farr

Ever wonder why most biologists and anthropologists don't use the word "race"? Ever what wonder what actually qualifies someone as a scientist? Ever wonder if double blind randomized control group trials are as methodologically bullet-proof as their adherents make them out to be? Ever wonder why some people, like Paleo diet advocates, idealize the harsh realities of hunter-gatherers? Wonder no more! See how the iconoclastic David Farr (BA in Psychology, MS in Conflict Resolution) slays these sacred cows and feasts on their flesh.
