Ok! EP says it'd be surprising if on avg in hunter-gatherer tribes, women loved all children as much as the children they'd birthed.

What I would hope for is some predictions about avg behavior in new situations, like a spaceship travel to Mars or social network dynamics
-
But we didn't evolve on Mars! Definite predictions of EP get confirmed by new observations of people in evolutionarily realistic environs.
-
But if we know how we evolved on Earth and know about Mars, and have a good model, then we could get an Idea how it might behave
-
Big ifs but some aspects could be predictable
-
Like... average moms on Mars will love their children more than other moms' children?
-
That *is* an EP prediction! It doesn't apply to big generic neural nets, clay sculpted in God's image, an AGI that I design, etcetera.

And this looks, again to someone who is uneducated in a field, like a retrofitting modern observations

And we didn't know about pinholes before quantum electrodynamics? Do you see how maternal love says "Hey this brain was naturally selected"?
