He is not denying the existence of human culture, he is simply discussing a factor which goes into the making of culture. Admittedly, he is giving this factor a far greater causal role than it has ever been credited with in the past. But isn't this what scientific debate is all about? Many folks were outraged when someone dared suggest that Noah's flood was not responsible for all those fossils. But that was way back in the 19th century. We know...

"NYPUM's probably the most significant factor in keeping kids busy," Murphy says...

The first, a statistical study prepared by a team led by Dr. Noel Weiss of the University of Washington in Seattle, stated that between 1969 and 1973 the incidence of cancer of the uterus had generally increased from about 20% to 60%, depending on the geographical area surveyed, among middle-aged women. The magnitude of that increase, concluded the study, "has rarely been paralleled in the history of cancer reporting in this country...
