It has been brought to my attention that some biologists might take offense to the particular phrasing of my previous posting regarding ethology as science. My impression upon posting that message was that ethology was not generally considered a scientific method amongst those studying biology (while it does seem plausable to me). My apologies to those who may have taken offense at my posting. I have been reading "Man and Wolf" (edited by H. Frank) and the foreword by Michael W. Fox seems to imply a measure of controversy in the subject of the objectivity of ethological methods. The concept of ethology as a scientific practice is intriging to me, and I simply want some professional opinions on the subject. (Obviously the book I have on the subject is either dated or biased) P.S. Many thanks to Dean Pentcheff ========================================================= - Geoffrey Heller gheller@yoda.eecs.wsu.edu WSU department of Computer Science =========================================================
