Hear, hear!
Whilst drawing upon one's knowledge of various specialised fields (anthropology, biology, history etc.) is very commendable in explaining the multifarious features of Glorantha surely we should try and avoid rationalising it all so much so that Glorantha just becomes a sterile intellectual exercise. After all:
This is Glorantha and _not_ Earth we are talking about here.
No amount of academic knowledge is a substitute for a poor imagination
This is a Role-playing game and it's supposed to be FUN!
Well, that's what I think. But there again I'm not an anthropologist or a biologist or an historian or whatever ;-).
