He should explain why he thinks it's nonsense, instead of just arguing by profanity and bullying.

I suspect he has done that may times.

No he hasn't presented any coherent or informed arguments against EP. He's a fact-proof ideologue.

EP makes no testable predictions, and it ignores most of the fundamentals of population genetics.

Replying to @genotripe @david_colquhoun and
I've tested dozens of predictions empirically, and written a fair amount on evolutionary genetics. What are you talking about?

Do you mean that you have demonstrated that a given trait has the hallmarks of positive selection in the genome?

Genomic evidence of recent selective sweeps is not how adaptations are analyzed anywhere in animal behavior or evolutionary biology.

Well, now that's not true. There's a wealth of literature for human traits. Tho' interpretation can be hard.

Replying to @genotripe @david_colquhoun and
Adaptationism is about assessing fit between phenotypic design features and putative adaptive functions. Not about genomic evidence.

Then how can you rule out coincidental matches? Null hypothesis has to be neutral, or nearly neutral evolution.

We test ever more detailed phenotypic features that would be less and less likely to match adaptive functions by chance. This is all EP 101.
