pop-evopsych is maybe the worst thing to have happened like ever. makes you wonder how could it have possibly been beneficial for our ancestors to think of our brains like that?
@maia it was the only way for cavemen who were bad at hunting wooly mammoths to get clout and still produce offspring
@maia One of my issues with (pop-)evolutionary psychology, besides the fact it's made up, is that it leaves wide gaps in the historical record it doesn't even bother to explain. As far as it's concerned, what happened tens of thousands of years ago in Flintstone-times is far more important than anything that happened between then and now.
