Continuing The Debate On Words And Seeds, Science
 









Excerpts: What we find is not unexpected: the history of the world is more
complex than the farming-language dispersal hypothesis suggests. Scratch the
archaeology of any one continent and what had once been argued as a simple case
of Neolithic dispersal becomes a mosaic of multiple processes that may have
produced quite independent patterns of economic, linguistic, and biological
change within the populations concerned.

 Similarly, scratching the surface of any one discipline exposes methodological
difficulties. (...) cultural change originates in the spread of people or of new
ideas and technologies.
