I cannot believe this. @sciam this is not okay. It is irresponsible to pose this question, to normalize the asking of it. This puts a veneer of scientism over the reprehensible idea that biology is the final arbiter of human nature. It is not. Do better.
The most irritating part of this is that IT IS A GOOD ARTICLE. The author doesn't hedge for clickbait. He calls out yet another reheated racist argument pretending to be science. The headline does the exact opposite. Have some pride @sciam, change the headline
It is a really good article that doesn't pull punches about the dangers of this sort of pseudoscience. Thanks for writing it @Horganism. @sciam, this is the headline you need: "Richard Wrangham's Absurdly Crude Biological Determinsim"
Well reasoned arguments are great, and I'm so glad this article was written. But you know what kills bad ideas? Making them look stupid. @sciam you made this bad idea seem reasonable with your terrible headline. What you need to do is help readers laugh Wrangham out of the room.
You are in a position to define which ideas people need to take seriously @sciam. You are respected. Your voice matters. Treat biological determinism as the outdated, unsupported concept that it is and make it clear that trafficking in it is unscientific.
