This article claims that this term is used in anthropology, psychology, biology. Except it really isn't, and wouldn't be used in serious peer-reviewed work, as is implied. If a argument can be made against a hypothesis on theoretical grounds, fair enough, that is acceptable, but an assertion that something is "just a story", so is basically a form of the argument from incredulity. This is thus original research, and has been the target of some creationist POV pushing by DLH ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). — Dunc| ☺ 20:55, 1 July 2006 (UTC) reply

Keep -- I just heard a lecture on the nature of human languange. The speaker used phrase "Just-so Stories" several times. I did not understand the meaning or the derivation in this context. It *may* be a good idea to merge this page with the "Just So Stories" page.
