I haven't yet read all of Burger, so I don't know what he says on this topic (other than what I've gathered from recent posts). Speaking of Burger, I have a small request. My copy of Part 2 of his Interview (raw_eat3.html) doesn't seem to be complete - it breaks off in mid-sentence. I have tried reloading it several times, unsuccessfully. I wonder whether someone who has the complete document would mind sending me the part that I am missing (preferably in html format)? It begins (in bold type): Prehistoric times Gabriel Camps, published by Perrin, (excerpts p. 276) "How did man switch from mere fruit-picking to full-blown agriculture?" If someone can send me the remainder, I would very much appreciate it. Regards, Barbara
