Badke, reading response.

What caught my attention while reading “Research Strategies” by William Badke, was when “the people had been forced from their city homes into the jungle.” Badke says, their knowledge of what was edible and what was deadly once carried by their ancestors had to gradually be rebuilt into their knowledge base. The first question that came to mind was, what other knowledge carried by our ancestors has been lost? Also, in relation to what’s edible and what’s deadly, I thought about what Badke said which is, we have to be the gatekeepers and discern the difference of getting our information from people who really know what their writing about verses the average person that selects the first five results from a Google search doing very little evaluation of their relative quality.
