Yeah, lots of the popular criticism is of low quality. I don't really know if there is any high quality criticism of evolutionary psychology. I have read up a bit on the subject, but the really interesting thing for me is the question: "why is the attacks both so ferocious and dishonest?".

I've seen some other theory about blonde hair. :-) It is probably some sexual selection (if there were something with snow reflection or heating, it ought to be known by now.)
