    Glen Geher at his best, describing the benefits of positivity and ego-diminution when you are 50. i am now 77 and spend 1/2 the night begging for "Mercy!". Indeed, if you added together all the major mistakes in my life there would be 7 corpses next to me

    This is a fantastic overview of the work of one of the most important evolutionary anthropologists—Napoleon Chagnon, who died last year. Conveys his originality beautifully. Will be great for teaching. Well done Ed and Larry.
