That ev psych assumes....: “that humans beings come in two distinct natural kinds, 'men' vs 'women’” (although you went on to say some things about research practices that I agree are orthogonal to this point)

Does evo psych, because of the evo in the name, always turn to evolutionary-based theories to explain such findings? If yes, I think that's where issues start to make sense for me, since there are other factors in determining, e.g., orientation.

If not, then is the work still in the field of evo psych?

Oops, I forgot a word above! TYPO: If yes, I think that's where issues start to **NOT** make sense for me, since there are other factors in determining, e.g., orientation.

It depends how you define ev psych (which is why these discussions often go round in circles, imo). To me, ev psych includes factors like culture, experience, environmental factors etc.

Thanks for explaining how you see the meaning/goal of evo psych. Do you think others within the field think and work the same way as you do? If yes, has the name just stuck even though evolutionary theory isn't the main source of inspiration for prediction/explanation?
