@KirkegaardEmil@paulg@cperciva there's no way to test evolution of behavior theories so they tend to be used to justify prejudices. -

@paulg The moderate position on evolutionary psychology is that we don't understand enough about human behaviour to scientifically study it. -
@paulg For proof, look at the comparative paucity of literature on evolution of bee communication vs. evolution of human language. -
@paulg Studying bees is much easier (invasive experiments, breeding, etc.) but there you can't start with your prejudices and work backward.
