Neuroanthropology
From the Introduction:
“Neuroanthropology is a collaborative weblog created to encourage exchanges among anthropology, philosophy, social theory, and the brain sciences. We especially hope to explore the implications of new findings in the neurosciences for our understanding of culture, human development, and behaviour.”

“ In the previous phases of public sector management we were certain that we could know, that we could find a brilliant example of good practice and spread it everywhere.

“ It may be that longer school hours work or that shorter school hours work - or that different pupils will benefit from different approaches. We simply don’t know. And realising that is the first step to liberation.
