[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I quit reading pre-history fiction for just that reason. I have ocationally toyed with the idea of writing my own book just to turn those notions on their head and annoy people. If I never sold volume one the outraged howls would almost be worth it. Maybe some day when I retire and have the time I'll do it.

I've read Keeley but I liked "Constant Battles: The Myth of the Peaceful, Noble Savage" by LeBlanc better.

You should write that book. Can I be the main blood-thirsty savage guy? Huh? Huh? can I? ;)

Keeley's book influenced LeBlanc, though he certainly had his own tangles with the politically correct elite. LeBlanc cited Keeley in the preface to his Prehistoric Warfare in the American Southwest, but I suppose I should check out his treatment of the subject, too. If you want to see something really interesting, you should take a look at who Keeley's most visible detractor is and what else he believes in...
