Ahmadinejad's Nightmare

Now, before we get to the nitty-gritty, there a few important things to first point out about the Aka and Ngandu?and indeed, about the anthropologists? motives in examining these people?s sexuality in the first place. Over the past half-century or so, a lot of impressive work has been done on cross-cultural differences in sexuality. But for a host of reasons?ethical, practical, personal and professional?it?s still a subject area at the outermost margins of mainstream anthropology. Anthropologists who choose to study sexuality, writes Carole Vance of Columbia University, are often cornered into the world of sexology, itself ?an intellectual ghetto of disciplinary refugees.? As a result, enormous gaps in our knowledge remain, particularly with regard to sex in small foraging societies like the Aka. That we know so very little about sex in other cultures, however, hasn?t stopped many scientists from claiming that there are indisputable sexual universals on the basis of data collected from large Euro-American samples, such as the famous Kinsey findings.
