That’s it.  Thanks, Merle.  I just blocked on the title and I didn’t have 
enough of it right for Google or Amazon to find it.

Hi Nick,

 

What immediately came to mind was the primate research crowd.  i snuck into SFI 
when De Waal gave some workshops there a few years ago, but he doesn't have a 
book with that title.  However, Chris Boehm, who I also met somewhere along the 
way, does have a book titled "Hierarchy in the Forest:  The Evolution of 
Egalitarian Behavior."  It's a terrific book, and I have a copy if that's what 
you're after.

Hi, Gary, 

 

Thanks for trying.  I was prepared by my elders to lose my memory to some 
degree when I grew old, but I was not prepared to discover that I was making 
new ones up!  When I went to google the book this evening, I had absolutely no 
doubt that it would turn up at the top of the list.  I am totally boggled. 

 

No, I know Bowles.  He’s a group selection guy, among other things.  He’s also 
from Umass, right around the corner from me in Massachusetts.  

 

I have to admit, I am starting to find this a bit scary. 

 

Nick

Just a Google inspired SWAG, but does 
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Bowles_(economist) seem plausible?

Hi, everybody, 

 

I am having one of those senior moments when  I either am remembering something 
that never was or cannot remember the details of something that was. 

 

A few years back, there was a visitor, external faculty member, what have you, 
at the Santa Fe Institute who wrote a book (I swear!) entitled Democracy in the 
Forest.  He commuted for a time from UCLA, or some other LA university.  The 
book title does not pop, although several entries regarding a book with a 
similar title do. 

 

I have enough trouble remembering the things I remember without making up 
things to forget, so I am hoping one of you can remember him.
