I cut out and saved an essay by Melvin Konner in the N.Y. Times  
Magazine from Sunday, January 8, 1989, and I still have it.  It was  
titled, "Where Should Baby Sleep?"  You can read it at

Konner authored a column in the N.Y. Times Magazine in those days  
called "Body and Mind."  All of his essays were thought provoking and  
meaningful.  You can read them all at the above web site.

> Is anyone reading or has read Melvin Konner's "The Evolution of  
> Childhood"?
> I've just started this and it is exciting in it's scope - from  
> cross cultural ethnographic research to brain science to  
> evolutionary pediatrics . . . . and more.
> And the detail of the research.  Primary sources throughout.
> The text is dense for someone with only one anthropology and one  
> biology course at the undergraduate level, hence I'm looking for a  
> on-line study group of sorts . . . or guidance from someone.
> I'm also curious that this name hasn't come up before on the  
> lecture circuit, or has it?
> My sense is that this a mind worth knowing.
