...those of traditional biological anthropology. I guess Emmerich just dislikes the study of human evolution, or perhaps he is "out of his league" in discussing it.

Parliamentary anti...
...anyone is losing sleep over Holocaust now, it is probably NBC executives, who are waiting to see how the show fares in the ratings. Says one anxious veteran of the No. 3 network: "Roots was about a civil rights struggle that brought an end to slavery; our story doesn't have a conventional happy ending. That's a worry." To minimize disaster, should it occur, NBC has scheduled the mini-series a week before the beginning of the fiercely competitive and all-important Nielsen sweeps. "I had dreams of glory for King [a ratings flop]." says Klein...
