I don't know who "answers.com" may be (I don't suppose the entry is
signed, is it?), but it clearly hasn't _read_ Gimbutas's work (or it's
using some lay definition of writing that was not used by Gimbutas or by
any other scholar). Not until Joan Marler entered the lists do we find
the kind of sloppy generalization found in the quoted exhibit catalog
and in this passage.
"This entry is from Wikipedia, the leading user-contributed

Wikipedia does guarantee anything of its content.

Jeez. Now wikipedia even has parasites.
