    TFW people like @SofiaRune literally take longer writing tweets claiming that there is no evolutionary psychology research on cooperation than it would take to Google 'evolutionary psychology of cooperation' & see the thousands of results.https://twitter.com/yashkaf/status/1246562059006984192 …

    Geoffrey Miller added,

    Putanumonit Jacob @yashkaf
    It's hard to adequately describe your disdain for scientists you haven't ever met, read, or bothered to google. For anyone actually curious about the evolutionary psychology of cooperation and capitalism, I'd recommend @robertwrighter's The Moral Animal and @primalpoly's Spent. pic.twitter.com/pg8bUk28FL

        Serious question: is this cognitive dissonance or just plain lying? Is the difference detectable empirically?

        When it's so quick & easy to fact-check, is there any real difference between lying and failing to fact-check?

        She should look into homicide rates of hunter gatherers too. Also, we didn’t probably evolve to cooperate in tribes of 300 million strangers.

        Equivalent to the time the spend blocking individuals so they don't have to face any challenging questions 🤔

        So, you've been teaching a subject for more than a decade? I've just now heard of the discipline, and here's why you're wrong about it.

        Ironically, a great book on the evolutionary psychology of cooperation is Selfish Gene by @RichardDawkins and it's often touted as making the opposite point (which is why Dawkins regrets the title to this day... Too bad the title is all that some people read)

        Replying to @UrbanEthology @primalpoly and

        As I recall, Dawkins mentions several rejected titles in the preface, one of which was Immortal Coils. That would have been a much better title, both aesthetically and practically speaking.
