DATA ANALYSIS: DESERTS
as a laboratory for exploring the role of social information in cultural development. Another example of the scientifi c value that the relative sparsity of desert habitats offers to social model research is a meerkat/GenStat study[17]
of stress effects in extraterritorial
movement. As with many general topics, this one turns
out to be much more extensive and complex than it appeared when I fi rst took it on. Among the many data analytic areas I have reluctantly had to skip over are pollination vectors, soil bacteria, infl uence of nomad populations and erosion patterns. The single overwhelming impression that I have brought away with me, however, is how little the surface has been scratched and how much more there is to do in a fi eld of vital importance. Just the heterogeneity and lack of consensus in basic criteria so far agreed for analysis is enough to provide food for thought.
