Cathy (Harvard alum)
As a recent student in one of Irven Devore's courses, I found him to be an astute, witty, and engaging man who cared as much for his students as his research. He has the rare and admirable quality of being able to hold a roomful of football players spellbound with anthropological theory. Although we dissected the Yanomamo culture in depth, Devore hardly glorified Chagnon's study, or referred to the Yanomamo as an "inherently savage" people. In fact, he tended to be critical of Chagnon's methods and such broad cultural characterizations. As an anthropology concentrator with a primary interest in primate biology, I also feel I can safely attest that his knowledge of primates is likewise solid and I recommend his writing on them without reservation.

A troubling trend
Irven DeVore, a famous conservative professor of biological anthropology at Harvard, is the author of the book, Primates. Professor DeVore recently revealed his biases by defending Napoleon Chagnon, the infamous poisoner of the Yanomami of Venezuela and Brazil. As activists on behalf of these innocent natives, as well as enviornmental activists, have demanded that the eurocentric exploitation of the Other come to an end, certain anthropologists continue to depict the Yanomami as "savages" who kill and engage in relentless violence. As usual, it has been proven that it is the white males who have abrogated the title of "discoverer" are the real killers, and they must be exposed.
