The main stumbling block of evolutionary psychiatry (psychology?) is that one is always in danger of coming up with ever more clever just-so stories that can never be proven or rejected by experiment but rely on who has the most compelling argument. The author also makes a grave but subtle misstep when he says “the eye evolved to see” - the eye most decidedly DID NOT evolve to see. The eye evolved and does see but importantly evolution has no intent, it has no goal and it has no purpose. I might sound pedantic but there is an important distinction between “the eye sees” and “the eye was meant to see”.
