I'm a PhD student taking psych classes as my cognate. There are 2 profs in the class I'm taking and both seem apalled by evolutionary psych. Why is that? Genuinely interested. Thanks
Ask them what evidence would lead them to consider a trait to be an evolved psychological adaptation. If they don't have an answer, they're biased against ev psych for ideological reasons, not scientific ones.
