      @SchrodingersKit @ka_bradley Yeah, the main thing that I learnt about evolutionary psychology was how easy and tempting it is to take some position on human behaviour and then create a nice little fairy story about how This Is Because Of Evolution.

    @SchrodingersKit @ka_bradley But! I do still have a lot of time for the idea that humans are still animals, and that we can learn about human behaviour by thinking about animal behaviour. But it is very hard to do without accidentally making normative statements or providing fuel for other people's.
