by Jonathan Miller
Behavioural scientists, Jonathan Miller argues, tend to overlook those aspects of human behaviour which seem mysteriously to defy quantitative analysis, treating them either as unmanageable or else as trivial and belonging in a pending tray somewhat contemptuously labelled ' human natural history.' Trained as a doctor, hut working as a man of the theatre. Jonathan Miller urges scientists, especially medical men, to start paying more attention to the nuances of human behaviour.
