Wait, do you endorse this paper? This is an example of what you were defending as science?

@PsychRabble may as well check in with you too. Is this work what you guys consider good representations of Evo Psych and what you consider good science? If it's awkward to answer, you can DM me.

I ask because I saw other parts of my Twitter circle attacking this paper, and I thought "I was told this stuff isn't representative, so likely just an outlier". So I was surprised to see Bo commenting positively. So maybe it's not so fringe.

I don’t “endorse.” I think it makes an important contribution to a legitimate scientific conversation. There are problems with it which they are addressing in another paper. Even then, legitimate criticisms. But that’s how psychology works. It’s a tough science.

Okay, just wanted to confirm this is what you consider science. The "important contribution" is what I meant by endorse, so that answers that question too.

Well, that’s fair. Just to be clear, that different from saying it’s definitely correct. That’s not how science works. In general, I find the argument that Jewish populations have higher IQs because of a combination of genes and environment persuasive. Always open to evidence tho

It's cool, I just wanted to be fair. I don't like when people take a fringe social justice take as representative, so I held back on this one in case it was such a case for EvoPsych.

I don’t think this *should* be fringe

Yeah, that's the problem from my perspective, though it may not be from yours. I get mixed messages from my EvoPsych circle. Some say it's wrong to see folks like this as representative. Some say their work is important. My default was the latter.

The simplest explanation for what we see is that the world actually is what it looks like it is, and that is that different human groups have different mixes of cognitive and behavioral traits.
