Update: Our list continues to grow, but slowly. Our grouup consists of two
hundred-odd members, a majority with Ph.D.'s in various fields, a large
number of the remainder being graduate students or people with Master's
degrees in fields such as paleontology, biology, archaeology, etc.

I would, however, like to see our list grow to include even more members in
academia or professional research.  Thus I would like to encourage those of
you who are professional scientists to mention the Paleodiet Symposium to
your colleagues. Being added to our (completely non-commercial, non-profit,
and free) mailing list is a simple matter of dropping a note to me at:

As for Loren's request to me (at
http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/CGI/wa.exe?A2=ind9811&L=paleodiet&F=&S=&P=446
):  so far as I know Santayana exactly said, "Those who cannot remember the
past are condemned to repeat it."  A good sentiment, but Loren may have
been searching for something more like this:

"A generation which ignores history has no past--and no future."
(Robert Heinlein, TIME ENOUGH FOR LOVE.)

Obligatory disclaimer: this message neither implies nor denies any
endorsement or non-endorsement I may or may not make of any position he may
or may not take on any of the issues Brian so eloquently brought to our
attention.

Random thought: if there's a prize somewhere for squeezing eight or more
equivocations into one sentence, can I claim it now?
