      Evolutionary psychology, or that the idea that our behaviors can be traced to our genetic past, has almost no scientific basis.

      If you study it, you’ll find nothing but “just so” hypothesizes with no evidence or hope of experiment. And as Popper reminds us, unfalsifiable claims cannot be science.

      Here is some rare footage from an evolutionary psychology laboratory. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7l0Rq9E8MY

        It’s fun for discussion, provided other people don’t do stuff like the comment I’m replying to.
