Diamond has received an enormous amount of criticism and I'm interested in figuring out which of it is justified, since his books/ideas/perspective is very interesting in general. The criticism almost uniformly comes from entrenched academic anthropologists who have motive.

so how do you wade through a swamp consisting of potential politically motivated attacks/false allegations, and also real methodological failures, some of which are due to naivety and others possibly serious flaws that would warrant rejecting his work.

you see what I'm saying? like, something doesn't add up. at minimum one of Diamond's political enemies in the U.S. flew to New Guinea, found the dudes, read them the story, and convinced to sue (I'm sure civil litigation in foreign countries is something they do all the time...)
