Meta: It's always strange how few people question the dogma that evolution influences every last detail of human behavior.
But I wouldn't make that statement outright. It is heretical.
- fleitz 15y agoLike most of science, rhetoricians rely on a poor understanding of what evolution actually says to foster ideas that have no basis in any meaningful scientific understanding of the topic, but seem to make common sense. The funny thing about evolution and rhetoric is that evolution is usually used to create acceptance for the policies that will make the fitness function a reality. (eg. mutilating the reproductive organs of those who score low on IQ tests)
