IMO it's going to be difficult to debunk evolutionary psychology. It is a
valid part of the medley of components of psychology and sociology. But is
it the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth? No, certainly not.
There is much more to human behavior than evolutionary psychology.
What's
Nobody's talking about debunking an entire domain. As Nick argues in the 1st
paper and the quote from the Wikipedia page argues, it makes the most sense to
treat particular hypotheses.
So I asked for testable hypotheses involving the alpha male concept and, in
particular, Peterson's evolutionar
Some questions for Nick and one for Ed Angel
Peterson's "alpha male" silliness seemed to have prompted this thread
but I wonder if a different example might advance the discussion more
productively, especially since, I suspect, most everyone on the list
would dismiss Peterson as inane.
The example
Excellent contribution! Thanks, Nick.
Of course, your arguments, in this letter, are primarily academic. So, they
won't grip the populace in the way Peterson's have (unless you launch a
marketing campaign like he did, of course). But I found the biased sample
argument plausible as something

Another question for Nick
-- does evolutionary psychology hold that every psychological behavior is
explainable, at least in principle, or are some behaviors / some psychological
states outside the purview of evospych? For example, is the an evolutionary
explanation for the observed behavior t

realized that his surname might be also transliterated as Prigogine,

I'm not a psychologist but I currently work in the field of AI deep
learning and this is modeled on the human brain, so let me comment on
Dave's question from my insight I developed working in this field.
In addition to the evospych component of human behavior, the human brain
also works like a "s
