Jeff,

Would you please, for my information--I really don't know,  give me a 
definition of scientific relativism and perhaps compare that to the concept 
of cultural relativism used in cultural anthropology?   Also, is that a term 
that Hawkings uses--if so, did he borrow from somewhere/someone else? Is 
Gould a scientific relativist?

May want to expand my reading list.

Thanks,

Carey
