You're confusing the notion of evolution applied to the human species 
with the perspective of evolutionary psychology.  You can claim that 
natural selection shaped human characteristics and reject the main 
principles of evolutionary psychology as advocated by Pinker, Buss, 
Cosmides, et al.  Gould's a good example of this.
