Moving along

This campaign has ended and I just wanted to again express my sincerest gratitude to all who contributed.

After spending some time in Addis we are now headed to Hawassa tomorrow. Originally we planned on going Wednesday, but Skybus cancelled the Wednesday routes on us. In Hawassa we will pick up our researcher affiliation letters and meet people in the department of anthropology.The anthropology departments of WSU and Hawassa University have established close connections and we plan to meet some people in the department there.

We have received our translated copies of our consent forms and questionnaires.

After spending a few days in Hawassa we will then begin our journey to Teppi where we will wait for our research guide and translator to meet us. In Teppi we will gather any other supplies we will need to take to the forest and prepare ourselves for the hike and go over our our approach.

We can't wait to get to Chabuland and spend time in the forest meeting and living with the Chabu!

Thank you all again. Stay tuned.

About This Project

How has leadership changed over human evolution; what mechanisms underlay our species' leader-follower psychology? This research will explore these questions and speak to the importance of leadership during the precarious transition to modernity. I propose to conduct a preliminary investigation of political leadership, and replicate established findings on leadership, among the Chabu, one of the last hunting and gathering populations in Ethiopia (or elsewhere).

Blast off!
