I still view David Attenborough's excellent early TV series " Life on Earth ".
True, the greatest entertainment " teaches you about human nature ". And studying the social orders of the higher mammals teaches you much about the HUMAN social order : it too evolved, changed, has a history; there is nothing absolute about the structure of human society. Yet, I hear a man say the other day that Science -and the scientific method- simply could not be applied to human society. So forget about Darwin, Marx, and Freud. Just read right-wing Ayn Rand's holy book " The Virtue of Selfishness ".
What does all this irrelevant biology and anthropology have do with the Stock Market ? I can't imagine David Attenborough being a conservative snob even without the " Sir ".
