What do you mean by 'mind' that differs from 'brain'? Can you be very clear?

We can trace back the origin of the eye and some of the genes who have an impact on it.

We can't always say the same for the cognitive modules dear to EvoPsych.

We can't always know why abilities & traits adapted , no, but we can show that they did. Not independently of science tho.

I'd agree but I think their criticism is something akin to thishttps://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12052-008-0059-2 …

That could be motivating it, yes, but what she's actually saying is 'show we differ mentally from fish without using biology.'

the claim that the mind is adapted is a just-so story if there's no evidence apart from the data the hypothesis was constructed to explain

No, I don't think. Tho 'mind' is very vague. The evidence of evolution of the brain is immense & supported from many different angles.

i don't dispute that the brain evolved

thinks it's alluding to fair criticism that psyEvo can fall pray to just-so-stories, and hypothesis testing is difficult and/or indirect

doesn't make it impossible but there's a lot of bad papers out there. Biggest problem is assumption of massive modularity. T be seen
