    Yeah things look bad and there's little reason to be optimistic on this front. I believe social scientists who do cross-cultural or evo work have a responsibility to seriously engage w/ the ethnographic evidence relevant to their topics, but many seem to think differently

    Very little about human history makes sense if you believe human beings cannot be moved by the deaths of people they've never met.

    "Baboons, the most versatile of animal polyglots, eavesdrop on G/wi hunters and pass on the plans of the hunters to the intended prey animals. This is not altruism but is caused by the baboons' legendary love of trickery and teasing."

    "Hunting is part of the battle for survival, and the hunted animal is an adversary in the contest of the hunt, not something that exists specially for man to prey upon."

    I'm going to be the reliable naysayer here and say that I don't think the fact that lots of young, secular college men around the world offer similar responses to the trolley problem in an online survey is all that meaningful *from a cross-cultural, comparative perspective*...1/2

    I found a serious discrepancy between how she reports a key event in her book Sex and Temperament (1935), and how she discusses the same event in a letter from the field from April 1932, which undercuts her claims about the Arapesh and really the whole thesis of the book IMO.

    It's funny because David Reich made exact same point in his book, but whenever you bring that up to hereditarians on here they'll often say he's just being politically correct so they don't have to listen to him on that, even though they'll claim his authority on everything else.

    The phrase "genuine dominance hierarchy" offers a lot of room for interpretation but I'd say that if this society of mobile hunter-gatherers is considered egalitarian then the word simply has no meaning

    Cultural complexity isn’t the simple result of the individual IQs of a population, that’s very obvious when look at cultural variation across small-scale societies, as I discussed in my post

    If you read Joseph Henrich's book you can find a similar example of enlightened westerners failing to survive a harsh climate... in the Australian desert. Do you have some ad hoc IQ-climate explanation for this one too?

    Pretty comprehensive dismantling of Richard Lynn’s absurd “cold winter IQ” hypothesis. Nice work ⁦

    "When an enemy head was taken, it was fed to the kaiemunu...The kaiemunu became immediately energized, and jumped and capered about the longhouse, "pulling" the men who held them. After being used to empower the kaiemunu, the victim's remains were eaten by the community at large"

    "Consider the similarities of the Ache of the Amazon, and the Inuit of the Arctic—male biased subsistence production, female-biased infanticide, polyandrous unions—the ‘cold winters’ hypothesis cannot explain this but it’s precisely what you’d predict from behavioral ecology"

    Christopher Ryan has gotta be up there. Vox unfortunately decided promote his horrendously misleading ideas in the 'Monogamy, explained' episode of their Netflix series
