Friam members,
 
    Sorry, here is my self introduction again for those of you who do
have 20 foot wide computer screens. I will get the hang of this thing,
some day.  

    My name is Nicholas Thompson and I will be in Santa Fe on Sabbatical
until June.  I have a nominal visitor's appointment in Anthropology at
UNM.  I am working on books, papers, and grants AND trying to pull
together some fresh ideas on social complexity and communication.  

    Having learned of the comparative insularity of SFI, I am overjoyed
to learn of this group and its interests.  I am interested in the evolution
of social complexity, animal and human communication, and in particular
human crying and whining.  I have a pretty good grip on David Sloan
Wilson's trait group selection theory which lies at the base of Multi-
Level Selection theory.
 

Sad to say, Friam's meeting day corresponds to the one day when
there are colloquia and meetings at UNM relevant to my interests.  
It occurs to me that if you all have coffee  on Fridays, then SOME
of you may have coffee on OTHER days as well, and perhaps we could
meet and you could bring me up to speed on what Friam has been
talking about.  

Look forward to meeting with some or all of you at some point,

Nick

Hi Nicholas.  We also have a technical meeting on wednesday noon, for  
lunch, to chat about more technical sorts of things.  Its pretty  
informal; sometimes we give talks, other times we just meet for lunch  
and technical conversations.

We meet at the Redfish office: 624 Agua Fria Street.  There's also a  
separate mail list for just this group.
