The anthropology of science part I: Science as a humanity

While we may be disappointed at the level of science literacy in contemporary society, there has also been a quiet revolution in the humanities with respect to the nature of science itself, situating it within the general sphere of human thought and activity. Much of what is now accepted as commonplace within the humanities concerning science is commonly either unacknowledged or perceived as threatening by scientist. A broader perspective about science is called for, one that will facilitate communication between scientists and nonscientists, that will assist the teaching and general acceptance of science, and to which the field of anthropology should be central.
