| Quote | | in the whole endeavor of evolutionary psychology, what is studied is human behavior, and the results are then retro-fitted to a preconception of having a basis in evolution, followed by a story that attempts to link the results to some philosophy of what should occur in their bizarre philosophical evolutionary narrative. |
| Quote | I have emailed Dr. Shackelford, editor of the journal, and invited him to come and comment on this thread. He is a Professor and Chair of Psychology Director, Evolutionary Psychology Lab, at Oakland University,
Department of Psychology. |
| Quote | I invited him here for that very reason, so we could have a more in depth discussion. What I actually expect to hear is nothing, but if he does come and respond, I expect to hear a deference to the works themselves, not actual and fresh explanations in plain language.

| Quote | | no response from the editor of the journal so far. No email response, and no comments on this blog. I’ll give him some more time, maybe he’s too busy. |

Some of the above was in response to Chunga Broca, who had Clive pegged from word 1.
| Quote | Expect to hear that your critique of the above quoted studies, all quite modest in their claims, fails to grapple with the questions raised in the context of prior research, the methodologies used to address those questions, and the limited empirical findings reported.
There are problems with these articles specifically and evolutionary psychology generally. But I don’t believe your critique meaningfully addresses them. |
Chunga mysteriously fell silent thereafter. Must be technical difficulties.
