      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.

      And what is the mind/brain relationship to you?

      This is not meaningful. The mind is not peanut butter. Does not tell us what the mind is.

          it's a negative characterization - mental states are irreducible to brain states

          But you can't define the mind? So I can't address this. Is vision irreducible to eyes? Is any of this meaningful in any way?

          i'm defining the mind the way any dictionary defines it - vision is not reducible to an organ
