Guest Bloggers at Savage Minds
I am excited to learn that Savage Minds has brought on two guest anthropologists-bloggers, Frederick Errington and Deborah Gewertz. They each have a pretty impressive background as evidenced by Rex's introduction. My interest in them has to do with Yali’s Question: Sugar, Culture, and History, a book they co-wrote partly in response to Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs and Steel. As many of you know, a debate raged a few weeks ago about Diamond and GG&S in the wake of the PBS/National Geographic television special with the same name. Some Savage Minds writers were highly involved in that debate so it will be interesting to see the results of adding yet another qualified opinion. I look forward to Drs. Errington's and Gewertz's posts.
