Abstract

When asked to review a book, one's fondest hope is that it will be interesting; one dare not, even to one's self, utter the word "significant." On the surface, it appears to be a historical study of systematics, the science of biological classification; upon reading, one discovers that systematics is merely the example Atran uses to exemplify a much more penetrating question: What is the relationship of scientific knowledge and the knowledge of common sense?
