Allen’s Reviews > Evolutionary Psychology: The New Science of the Mind > Status Update

Okay I will admit that it’s not as bad now, but still very distant from a human-like feel, however I kinda get it. I think my biggest qualm with this is that whenever they aren’t saying something out of pocket, it’s the most basic ideas. This entire chapter was just like “people like friend cause friend offer things in return,,, but watch for cheaters”. I could have just watched sesame street

This book has to be a social experiment on the public’s ability to identify questionable claims even when presented by well-educated individuals. If not, I’m genuinely disgusted with the constant search in both this book and discipline of psychology for an evolved characteristic in humans to justify racism, sexism, and homophobia.
