I just re-read my comment. Sounded like I was questioning evolution itself. I was referring specifically to the behavioral bits, like:
> From an evolutionary perspective, male infidelity is fairly straightforward. Men have evolved a strong desire for sexual variety, stronger than women’s on average, due to the large asymmetries in parental investment. Men can reproduce with as little effort as it takes to inseminate a fertile woman. Women require a metabolically costly nine-month pregnancy to produce a single child.
... and using that to explain human behavior or psychology. I guess the field is known more as behavioral or evolutionary psychology.
