See vid below. Figures it’d be some U tenures as per below, but …
Once a while back, a rabbi wrote me and asked why, succinctly I didn’t believe evo psych had anything to offer.
Well, apart from issues around reason and logic? I wrote back and said: If it is true that your behaviour and mine can be predicted on the basis of what supposedly happened on the African savannah a million years ago but not on the basis of the founding of human civilizations, Judaism, Christianity, Western culture, and (in my case) Canada—that would mean evolution does not happen.
In a million years, nothing happened.
Now, I don’t care much whether evolution happens or not. I mean, take the politics out of it and—I just dunno.
But if I thought evolution was important, I sure wouldn’t be backing a dead horse in the stable like evolutionary psychology.
