To Dave Cushman, Hi.

In your latest message (of  Sept. 14) you responded to my question (as to what exactly you observed that led you to state that you saw foragers dancing without dance-attendants) by stating that you "observed dances without obvious attendants". Sorry, but this  does not fully qualify as convincing evidence for the existence of dances without dance-attendants. As I had already explained in an earlier message, under certain circumstances dance-attendants can be easily overlooked by a casual observer (without a careful analysis of videotapes in slow motion). I also explained why this is so. In other words, present dance-attendants are not necessarily always obvious dance-attendance.




Sincerely,

Ruth Rosin ("prickly pear")
