I have to agree. Full of a lot of conjecture and giant leaps without much positive evidence. Unfortunately, stuff like this is all the rage even in scientific literature these days, especially in the realm of evolutionary biology. Many similar articles work like: "see, monkeys do it, therefore humans did it", assuming the premise to be true when there not a whole lot of evidence either way to support it.
- illuminate 14y agoI think you're referring more to "evolutionary psychology", a field rife with pseudoscience (and nearly 100% pseudoscience in the pop realm), much less so evolutionary biology.
