Subrena Smith recently argued that “evolutionary psychology, as it is currently understood, is…impossible.” Here is my response: https://grasshoppermouse.github.io/2020/01/21/is-evolutionary-psychology-impossible/ …

H,C&F: "We hypothesize that FLN only includes recursion and is the only uniquely human component of the faculty of language. We further argue that FLN may have evolved for reasons other than language" I interpret them "there was no selection for language specifically" Disagree?
