The Ancient Human Occupation of Britain website which was the last post I made is an entry into a collaborative network among researchers. The link here is an individual herpetologist’s website — the central node of a network he has assembled about his expertise: the reptiles of Guiana. The herptologist has created a small network of fieldwork, labwork, and information about Guiana. The smaller network links repeatedly and relevantly out into the open Internet for related webpages. To be able virtually to observe a science as it is undertaken this directly is a gift of the Internet to both working and would be herpetologists. Other sciences and studies of all kinds are emerging similar virtual observation networks for their knowledge as it develops. Animal Sciences
