"Basically anything involving evopsychy explanations for anything is very likely to be sigh-worthy." I think you misread the parent comment, as well as mine. Consider this: "Human brain is like a peacock tail: it's a product of the sexual selection. It's too huge of an organ." That doesn't reference evolutionary psychology, but rather, that describes Fisherian Runaway: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisherian_runaway https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisherian_runaway Fisher pre-dates evolutionary psychology/behavioralism by several decades. Fisher put his theory forward back in the 1930s. I agree with you that most of the modern evpysch stuff is poorly thought out.
