    If you want to find some ready objections to or defenses of evolutionary psychology for today's chat in #virus, here is an interesting 11-page article:

    Essay Review
    Alas Poor Evolutionary Psychology:
    Unfairly Accused, Unjustly Condemned
    By Robert Kurzban

    or in PDF format
    http://human-nature.com/nibbs/02/apd.pdf

    The objections addressed, successfully or not:

    First Charge: Genetic Determinism
    Second Charge: Panadaptationism
    Third Charge: Unfalsifiable hypotheses
    Fourth Charge: Proximate Explanations
    Fifth Charge: Evolutionary Claims are Political, not Scientific
