Professional anthropologists should be concerned with, and willing to combat, popular concepts of human nature derived from the works of Ardrey, Morris, and others. Student responses to a questionnaire indicate that students have a hypothesis of human nature which leads them to expect the worst from their fellows. A continued lack of concern about this belief may have disastrous social, political, and economic consequences. The introductory classroom can provide a forum for correcting these imbalanced perceptions
