Smuggled
How Interpretation Disguises Itself as Observation
A caption calls a fossil an ancestor. Is that what the bone shows, or what someone decided it means? This book teaches you to tell the difference.
The test: if a word or picture adds ancestry, direction or worth that the specimen doesn't show, it was smuggled in.
- Part I: loaded words
- Part II: loaded images, the one kind a correct caption can't fix
- Part III: loaded inferences
- Part IV: all three at work in the origins debate
- Part V: a field kit, turned on the author's own writing
Built on Hayakawa and Hanson. It takes no side: the same tools catch smuggling anywhere, including in this book.
