I feel I must mention that the Morris book, which is dated, and was intended for popular consumption in its day, isn't authoritative. It contains a lot of suppositions and assumptions that are not clearly labeled as such in the text. It's interesting to hear what he has to say, but that is about all that is to be gained from it. Elaine Morgan's _The_Descent_Of_Woman_ is another popular book which draws from the same research background and yet comes to quite different conclusions in many places. I recommend it to balance your perspective. Eirikur Hallgrimsson ...decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-amber!eirikur Posted: Tue 8-Jan-1985 13:15 Marlborough uncorrected time. To: RHEA::DECWRL::"NET.SINGLES"
