[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] Not the one's you refer to. And they are not anthropologists qualified to speak on the biological and physical traits of ancient populations who first migrated to Greece. Classical studies: [QUOTE] Graduate Program Our Ph.D. program is dedicated to training students in the broad and integrated field of Classical Studies, which includes Greek and Latin languages and literatures, and the history, art, and archaeology of the ancient Greek and Roman world. We seek to provide students with a broad understanding of Greco-Roman antiquity as a whole; a working knowledge of the specialized tools and techniques needed for research in the field; and familiarity with methodologies developed in other disciplines that are relevant to Classical Studies. Duke is particularly fortunate in faculty and resources that allow direct contact with the textual and material foundations of our knowledge of antiquity. A flexible program of courses can thus be arranged. After course work is completed, an integral part of the training is teaching experience, in courses in Classical Studies and in Greek and Latin. The department cooperates with others at Duke that share our interests, such as Art and Art History, History, Philosophy, Political Science, Religion, and Women's Studies. We have close ties to the faculty, students, and resources of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, with whom we collaborate in the Consortium for Classical and Mediterranean Archaeology (CCMA). Our faculty and students are integral both to Duke’s Center for Late Ancient Studies, and to Duke’s Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies. We also have strong ties to the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, the American Academy in Rome, and the American Research Center in Turkey. The department encourages all graduate students to take advantage of its extensive research materials, which include the collection of Duke papyri; the collection of Greek and Latin manuscripts in Perkins’ Special Collections Library; and the Classical sculpture, ceramics, and other material in the Nasher Museum of Art. [/QUOTE] http://www.duke.edu/web/classics/graduate/index.html A Greek scholar is not qualified to judge biological, genetic and anthropological studies unless that scholar is a biologist, geneticist or anthropologist and has formal training as such. Again, you are talking nonsense. A linguist is not qualified to critique a dissertation on mathematics. A mathematician is not qualified to critique a dissertation on chemistry. Calling someone a scholar does not mean that they are qualified to speak on anything outside of the specific area of study in which they have received training...... Historians are not anthropologists. Historians are not biologists. Historians are not geneticists and therefore they are not experts in all fields and qualified to dispute findings in areas outside their specific areas of expertise. Classical studies, like history, is more of a liberal arts curriculum based on the study of languages, arts, literature and culture. It is not a hard science which involves things like biology, genetics, chemistry or mathematics. [/QB][/QUOTE]
