Just a link to my book (unfortunately in German), which I thought might be of interest for neuroanthropology-minded people:

I’m an Anthropology scholar from Indonesia. And now, I am doing in researche about gay and related it with culture and neuroscience. I need so many articles about it, and thanks to this site, especially for Mr.Greg Downey. I have been doing this research since ten years ago. For anybody who can help me to give more ideas about my research please give yours to: dharmantoaji25@gmail.com.

I am sorry about my english.

Thanks for you all.

Great site! This is a request for some info or references on a particular subject—if anyone could help me, I’d appreciate it.

First, I am not an anthropologist, or a neuroscientist—I am a writer and journalist (hence my request for help).

I seem to recall there being some research indicating that when human parents prolong the “child-rearing” phase of their child’s life (i.e., the longer the child is kept and supported at home before striking out on its own), the child’s neurological development and/or intelligence is maximized or accelerated somehow.

I believe this observation might have been made in connection with the development of early humans.

Does this ring a bell with anyone? Can someone direct me to any references? Feel free to contact me directly at my Email below.

Thanks!

It’s not just neuroanthropology, though I think you’ll enjoy this 1962 documentary film.

Thanks very much, Juli. We agree that the integration of anthropology and brain studies is ripe, and we’re really pleased that we discovered Ethan’s work (and that he discovered us at the same time!). We’ll look forward to hearing more from you.

Wonderful site. I am an occupational therapist who taught neuroanatomy, neurology and neurorehab for 30 years. I also taught about psychiatry. I have a Phd in socio-cultural anthropology and did research on schizophrenia in Zanzibar. The integration to which you dedicate yourselves is important and way overdue.
Ethan Watters, author of Crazy Like Us: the Globalization of the American Psyche, recommended your site to me. I plan to read and occaionally post.

Dear Colleen –
We’re pretty easy to find, especially if you look at our profiles, and my email address is in the box on the upper left of the page. I just don’t write it out exactly as written because automatic email address collectors spammed me mercilessly when I first posted it that way.
The easiest way is to look at our profiles, reply (like you’ve done), or look us up at our work places: Daniel is in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Notre Dame, and I’m at the Department of Anthropology at Macquarie University.

You really must mention a way for someone to contact you guys!
I am an AVID reader of your blog. I am currently slowly picking away at a undergrad in Anthro/Psych.
I am an Addictions Counsellor ‘by trade’ and very little qualification Though I have worked with some of the best of the best and my intellectual self has ate up ANY material I would come across. You blog is everything I could ask for! Thank you dearly for such an informative resource! I find myself linking everyone from laymen friends to my doctoral mentor, OFTEN.

I did come as I thought it could be of interest to some of you, Addictions Unplugged. Addictions Unplugged is focussing on Food Addiction. The candor and simple language appeals to the average Joe yet having attended a couple of these sessions is highly informative for professionals alike. Theres a paper associated with this last one thru http://www.cmaj.com
http://www.addictionsunplugged.com

Again many thanks for such spirited, detailed postings! You guys need a hardcopy magazine, I’d subscribe and it would be an easy and fascinating read from front to back, and would be a grand bookshelf addition
