Bibliography
Hopefully, we’ll build a running bibliography here on relevant neuroanthropological topics with links back to postings where these pieces are discussed. I’m trying to get caught up with all the entries, but I can’t promise that they’re all here. And if anyone wants to add important sources, even if they’ve not yet been discussed on Neuroanthropology, I think that would be great. Just contact me. (Greg)

Idea: embed bibliographic metadata (e.g. through COINS) so that this bibliography becomes more than just a plain list. That way, readers can quickly capture whatever citation they’re interested in using smart bibliographic managers like Zotero.
