[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tyrannohotep: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [qb]But surely you agree that a book like Bernal's is conceptually much more powerful and marketable than some of the books that just consist of slapping Egyptsearch quotes together on a book page. And yes, those books actually exist. I'm sure you've come across at least one of them on books.google.com. They exist and they're not appealing to anyone, except those who like their authors telling them what they already want to hear and don't hold their authors to high standards.[/qb][/QUOTE]I think I might have encountered one or two of those books on Amazon's Kindle section, but not many. I don't really go out looking for books of that genre anyway. But given the dismal "Sturgeon's Law" state of online self-publishing, I'm not surprised that kind of plagiarized "literature" is out there. [QUOTE][qb]Fortunately for me, I have always been into different topics and I'm doing research in other areas, so I have a lot angles from which to approach any write up I may do in the future.[/qb][/QUOTE]I agree that having a background in other topics can be useful. For example, I had an interest in evolution long before I got involved in this community. I think that has helped me understand certain concepts better than many other posters in our circles. It's easier to grasp things like population substructure in Africa and other regions when you have some previous understanding of cladistics, for example. [/QB][/QUOTE]
