    I disagree, as I am the one good evopsych enjoyer. I am fascinated by evolutionary explanations of altruism, and I have a lot of education in evolutionary biology. I am interested in the ways that human evolution has given us the tools and the instincts to become social (damn near eusocial) animals. In the end, we have more in common with any eusocial creature than with chimps when it comes to behavior. That could be either be the result of something genotypic, but it could also be something our fancy brains have reasoned out. Either way, it's evopsych.

    But I will admit, ironically there are no good places to read about this topic within "evopsych" literature. The closest is books like Unto Others (a book any champion of scientific communism ought to be familiar with), which are basically all within the larger label of evolutionary biology. So maybe evopsych is too fouled and needs ME, the one good evopsych enjoyer, to replace it.
