A question of principle.

The lack of topics (questions and answers, discussions, etc.) on this particular Board has been getting on my nerves.

For the life of me I cannot understand the apparent lack of interest for what is, after all, the ever changing stage, upon which human evolution played (is playing) itself: the (palaeo)environment. Without it and our (admittedly changing) understanding of it, "palaeoanthropology" (as per the definition of this Forum and the Journal to be) would be nothing more than a constant and sterile exercise in ecstatic gossiping or worthless bickering -- about stones and bones -- trying to pass itself as science.

That may good enough for some people, but certainly not for this Forum. I think we can do better.

Sorry about that. Must be the moon.
