....overrun anthropology

This will probably sound ignorant and horribly anti-intellectual, but I have always been suspicious of "science" that relies largely on the parsing of words and/or guess work about the workings of societies long vanished. I certainly can understand anthropology from the perspective of biology, archeology, architecture, etc., as a comcept but it seems to me that anthropologists aren't a necessary "science discipline" and not essential to proper science and, in fact, duplicate a lot of work that other, harder scientists do. The fact that anthropologists are jumping up and down frothing about the mouth about the lack of the work "science" in their mission statement kind of proves the point. They aren't "scientists" at all, but desperately want to be.
