Hey, cool! One of my profs from archie grad school!.

Too bad he's an American archie. Clearly, he's too hooked into the
old pair of dimes to be able to conceive of a new synthesis, putting
the latest information about the transition from H/G to farming in a
new and more nuanced dime or two. (Probably a commie fascist, too.)

It never ceases to amuse me that, whenever we look more closely at a
large-scale change, it is composed of lots of small changes that
nearly always run the gamit of availiable possibilities. It's almost
as though the cultures back when were actual people!

More to the point, they didn't have bureaucrats to impose changes at
the stroke of a pen.

On the other hand there were no burocrats to delay progress.
The transition took place at an amazing speed.
