John McCreery commented on Michael Alexeevich Popov's blog post Mathematical tradition in Anthropology. An Introduction 1. Edmund R.Leach"Michael, you are making a moral argument—"have no right"—to a scientific discussion.
I agree totally that there is no easy way to do math as mathematicians do. But, to my mind, that puts the onus on those who insist that…"

Let me to make some sort of generalization.
1a. Malinowski, Shirokogoroff, Levi-Strauss and Leach made their best to introduce scientific standard (of 1920-30s ) in anthropology. We cannot forget about it, we have no right to…"
John McCreery commented on Michael Alexeevich Popov's blog post Mathematical tradition in Anthropology. An Introduction 1. Edmund R.Leach"I am also interested in what Michael is up to. I wish he would tell us more about it, instead of assuming that we know what he is talking about."
M Izabel commented on Michael Alexeevich Popov's blog post Mathematical tradition in Anthropology. An Introduction 1. Edmund R.Leach"I won't call it enthusiasm. I have partly given up on anthropology a long time ago. My life now revolves around arts. Culinary is my bread and butter; sculpture, my hobby that relieves stress; and creative writing, my…"
John McCreery commented on Michael Alexeevich Popov's blog post Mathematical tradition in Anthropology. An Introduction 1. Edmund R.Leach"Michael, M, I admire your enthusiasm. I do wonder, however, what you are hoping to accomplish here?
Michael, why do you care about anthropology? As you have observed there are lots of people working in fields like computational sociology, big…"

Edmund R.LeachM Izabel commented on Michael Alexeevich Popov's blog post Mathematical tradition in Anthropology. An Introduction 1. Edmund R.Leach"Yes, Michael, the mathematicalization of anthropology and sociology has been done already, but mostly representational (map, diagram, model) and metaphorical (analogy, one-to-one correspondence, substitution). Can you direct me to some recent…"

M Izabel commented on Michael Alexeevich Popov's blog post Mathematical tradition in Anthropology. An Introduction 1.

Mathematical tradition in Anthropology. An Introduction 1. Edmund R.Leach
Anthropologist sees the world as a world of extreme complexity or as a series of Big Data ( NP hard ) problems , hence, some field complexities could be described as“ botanic rarities of the most exotic kind “ by literary forms , whereas another complexities are ready for scientific computational analysis.
As is known the first attempts to introduce systematic scientific analysis of culture as “ a set of mechanical devices “ ( Malinowski ) or as a sort of “computer…

Remark on History of Anthropology and Mathematics
This remark inspired by David Mills (Department of Education, University of Oxford) paper "After Malinowski..." ( Ethnicity seminar at ISCA 1.03.2013 ). David described Malinowski style of doing anthropological seminar at LSE with its interactive way of presentation, formalism,"raumkunst" and, of course, pub. It became puzzling for today's anthropologists because mathematical aspects of Malinowski functionalist thinking ( as well as Levi-Strauss algebraist thinking) are ignored…

Is Science simply "Mission of western white men " ?
New Scientist (29 October 2011 Issue number 2836) contains comments on Anthropology 1 ( Postmodernism based cultural anthropology ). In particular author suggests that such sort of imaginary anthropology rejects an existence of objective truth as well as assumes that "science was simply mission of western white men "? As a consequence - " A generation of journalists with a postmodern education decided that " objective" reporting was simply getting varying views of the story, but not required… Continue

Two Anthropologies
There are two different anthropologies – anthropology by historians and anthropology by physicists and mathematicians. The first is academically recognized social science ,whereas , the second is just emerging discipline inspired by results of cosmology of antropic (anthropological ) principle, space life sciences, computational theory of human limits, gravitational and quantum biology, mathematical evolution, experimental econophysics, quantum games applications,applied mathematics and …
