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.
