The problem people have with evolutionary psychology isn’t whether any, all, or none of it is true.

The hatred for it hinges on the fact that it implies behavioral and mental constraints and limitations — that something other than directed conscious thought is controlling you and your destiny, a deus ex machina from times past reaching into the future.

Why this bothers people I haven’t a clue, because it’s clear in other arenas that life is often only vaguely under one’s control.

Note: I believe there is an evolutionary psychology, though probably only about 10% of its “findings” now are true. Maybe as much as 25%. However, the brain is an evolved organ. And if you don’t believe the brain is an evolved organ, we have absolutely nothing to discuss in any arena.
