Somebody Somebody :

In essence, the strong opponents of evolutionary psychology, the ones who don't simply reject the field as it's currently constructed under the capitalist regime but oppose the very premise behind it, seem to argue in favor of an Adam and Eve version of human development. It's a view of human evolution where Homo sapiens, at some point miraculously lost the baggage of innate tendencies, reflexes, and hormonal responses that every other animal species carries. How this happened I cannot fathom, but I imagine it could well have involved a virgin conception.

^^^^ CB: I agree with your comment. The field ev psych pursues already exists. It is anthropology, a century old discipline with much evidence and theory on culture and human nature. That ev psych poses as if it is starting a new field suggests some phoniness or raises questions about.
