Thanks lil, I love that quote. I think we do naturally construct narratives of our family history. It is a way for us to imagine our past and contexualize our existence. Really the entire subject of evolutionary anthropology is a collective attempt to re-create the narrative of our species family history. So it makes sense that I would do it on a smaller scale.

When I get some answers from the graduate program I'll see if it had anything to do with my proposal. But I doubt it because I had every biological anthropologist in the department read it over in December and give me comments/feedback. They all loved it. Which is part of the reason why I was shocked at getting rejected.
