Hi, everybody, I am having one of those senior moments when I either am remembering something that never was or cannot remember the details of something that was. A few years back, there was a visitor, external faculty member, what have you, at the Santa Fe Institute who wrote a book (I swear!) entitled Democracy in the Forest. He commuted for a time from UCLA, or some other LA university. The book title does not pop, although several entries regarding a book with a similar title do. I have enough trouble remembering the things I remember without making up things to forget, so I am hoping one of you can remember him. Nick Nicholas S.

Hi, Gary, Thanks for trying. I was prepared by my elders to lose my memory to some degree when I grew old, but I was not prepared to discover that I was making new ones up! When I went to google the book this evening, I had absolutely no doubt that it would turn up at the top of the list. I am totally boggled. No, I know Bowles. He’s a group selection guy, among other things. He’s also from Umass, right around the corner from me in Massachusetts. I have to admit, I am starting to find this a bit scary. Nick Nicholas S. Thompson Emeritus Professor of Psychology and Biology Clark University http://home.earthlink.net/~nickthompson/naturaldesigns/ From: Friam [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Gary Schiltz Just a Google inspired SWAG, but does http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Bowles_(economist) seem plausible?

Hi Nick, What immediately came to mind was the primate research crowd. i snuck into SFI when De Waal gave some workshops there a few years ago, but he doesn't have a book with that title. However, Chris Boehm, who I also met somewhere along the way, does have a book titled "Hierarchy in the Forest: The Evolution of Egalitarian Behavior." It's a terrific book, and I have a copy if that's what you're after. On Fri, Jan 9, 2015 at 11:23 PM, Nick Thompson <[hidden email]> wrote:

Borges had an illustrious career making up literary references. Perhaps
you should consider writing short stories... :-) I believe it is Daniel Kahneman (among others) who talks about our propensity to "fill in the blanks" or "complete the picture".

That’s it. Thanks, Merle. I just blocked on the title and I didn’t have enough of it right for Google or Amazon to find it. Nick Nicholas S.
