[Paleo Conservative]

More than 20 tribal societies accept the principle that a child could, and ideally ought to, have more than one father, according to Pennsylvania anthropologist Stephen Beckerman.

Interesting, all the societies he cites seem to stuck in the stone age. They never developed a high level of technology. They also have primitive economies. How would anyone start a family business? For that matter why would anyone bother trying to ensure that his offspring enjoy a higher standard of living than he did or his father did?

Of course, they are too busy screwing each others brains out to advance beyond the stone age. : )

Look at the conclusions you can draw from the incorrect superstitions of primitive people?

Next up, anthropologists will help Boeing design the next airliner after studying cargo cult peoples.

I guess they are more ``paleo'' then you.
