His work on kinship was called a "brilliant failure." This may be true. On the other hand, his theory of myth and of the mind was a big success. The human mind does work in opposites. May he rest in peace. I owe Levi-Strauss a lot, in the very least my interest in comparative ethnology. His work on kinship was called a “brilliant failure.” This may be true.

He will be missed. Everything I believe in anthropology is in strict contradiction to everything Levi Srauss said, but I guess he would say that’s just another damn binary position.

(and thus that genes are not all-telling persee , but they are that in combination with merely physical (biological) factors). interestingly that poses the question who was first (the bird or the egg) and when exactly did genetics incorporate these biological effects, pretty well possible before we ever grew into sth. more then a primate, and possibly long before that. allthough the same matter of it's allways an egg before a bird, interestingly we could perhaps pinpoint a few of the related genetic developments on a timescale. btw. for animals smell usually suffices to make the distinction, and it would be somewhat farfetched to assume humans would have lost all that capacity to turn into humans, altho that be kinda nice and contrary to existing theory. i also think it will be easy to proof pgm’s function more/better for the survival of grandchildren when they are more sure. i am however quite convinced that mgm’s function more easily in that sense. for an example, woman have cells of all their children in their body’s specifically the brain,

You might have something there. At any rate I think the survival of particular offspring is unlikely to be simply the result of genes on the X chromosome. “their survival rates granted them a niche automatically, and not so much that the niche granted them survival rates”.
