Deep Adaptation

[cjsmith]

I invite anyone who's read the Deep Adaptation paper to explain where they agree or disagree with the author and why. Supporting evidence is particularly welcome, though discussion of gut feel and denial are also obviously pretty strongly related.

I’m interested in your views on societal effects and the proximate causes for them. Obviously the society we live in today has a lot of striking differences from Mayan and Incan - not least of which is the global connectivity and interdependence. I would think that makes us more fragile rather than less, but I’m no sociologist; maybe it also makes us more robust in ways I have yet to perceive.

(Time to go re-read Jared Diamond, too, probably.)
