Victoria-Crowned Pigeon: World Univ & Sch's wiki Anthropology subject is open, inclusive & extensible, American Anthropology Association & Science

WUaS is like Wikipedia with MIT OCW ... anthropology as science & humanities, etc., courses, etc., are welcome -

I'm looking at some related questions of anthropology & science presently as I write my actual / virtual Harbin ethnography (November and December 2010) in my blog: http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/Harbin%20ethnography .
