Right, so how about sci.ethno?  It seems to fit the naming conventions
better.  It probably would make it sound more attractive to people who
care about other or more general ethnoscientific stuff.  Plus, it doesn't
have that key morpheme "bio" that will set off alarms for so many
net.naysayers.  All you have to do is explain that "ethnoscience" is 
significantly different in its meaning and history from both ethnology 
and ethology.
