This week’s Ask a ScienceBlogger:
What’s the most underfunded scientific field that shouldn’t be underfunded?…
I’ll say old fashioned biological anthropology. There’s a reason that a pall was cast over thsi field after World War II, but we need to start pushing an analysis of man the animal on all levels again, as the post-genomic era is starting with an explosion centered on the most important animal of all, and the moment is ripe for the re-emergence of complementary fields.
