@IRIS_Founder Yeah can see that but we’re often talking about 1000s of years. My focus on the evolutionary explanation - agree that can ‘test’ or check differences. Just last hour read this again. Still find it quite credible.
I re-read this from 2020 - at the time thought it was strong. Focuses on whether evolutionary psychology is possible. https://t.co/kesygXmx8L
@edujdw Yes, I was looking up an article I found quite compelling when I read it, and was pondering on this again. https://t.co/kesygXmx8L

@ProteoEutaxia @Mithra_Is_Fine @stsDrex @_MorseCoded Evo psych has always been bs, and while I don’t realistically expect it to completely die anytime soon, it’s good to see more scholarship challenging its base assumptions. https://t.co/4WDi3LgsHJ

@Pellegrinoadict They’re certainly useless when you try to base a whole field of non-reproducible studies on them https://t.co/4WDi3LfUSb
@WilboBaggins95 I’m not invested in that idea being wrong so much as not basing entire fields of psychology on outdated gender stereotypes https://t.co/4WDi3LfUSb
This point is that there is *way* more variation in division of labor than early anthropologists and the evo psych crowd invested in teleological explanations that uphold traditional gender roles would have us believe Also, evo psych still isn’t real :)

Of course it’s fine to think certain concepts or mechanisms are unconvincing without empirical support. However, then keep in mind that a black box ‘evolution is making us do this’ often also is nothing more than speculation. https://t.co/kesygXmx8L
She is criticising a particularly rigid version of ev psych. Her critique does not apply to those that accept the role of culture as well.
@_OBZDN_ I'd say the issues with the field are methodological, but it's not even the field proper that I'm taking issue with here, but those who don't even feign an attempt at even flawed science. https://t.co/jPdksUry84

Great piece on the impossibility of Evolutionary psychology - TL, dr: we don't know how the mind of our ancestors was, and we can't recreate this evolution in the lab, so we can't reconstruct and observe its evolution, unlike what happens with Evolutionary
