- The recent Neel/Chagnon
allegations: Napoleon Chagnon is an internationally recognized scholar
who has done pioneering research in his field; his well known book
Yanomamo: The Fierce People was first published in 1968. He joined
the Anthropology Department at UCSB in 1984 and retired in 1999 as
Professor Emeritus. He does not have an office on the UCSB campus;
however, he has posted a brief response
to recent allegations about the conduct of scholars working in the
Amazon in the late 1960s and 1970s. Professor Chagnon categorically
denies these allegations.
