I really enjoyed that article. I especially like surveying textbooks over time, to call out the originators of misconceptions, and the lazy copy pasta cohorts who followed their lead. The misrepresentations are particularly egregious in neurophysiology, which should be a very concrete observational science, based on dissections of many species in the context of evolution. Perhaps Just So pop-sci evo-psych theories have their reckoning with scientific reality ahead of them.
