"The theory of evolution by natural selection provides a well-validated explanation—indeed the only explanation that we have, or need—for the properties of basic, cross-culturally general human motives and emotions" link.springer.com/chapter/10.100…
"Many of the findings of evolutionary psychologists are unsurprising, at least in retrospect... Tell me something I did not know! But what would be truly surprising is if the theories and discoveries of evolutionary psychologists were strikingly at odds with intuition."
"People are, after all, experts in human behavior: they have evolved to be observant and accurate in this crucial domain."

"Indeed, humans have powerful motives to control the laws, which we have only just begun to uncover. They are probably as strong as our motives for status and alliances."

psycnet.apa.org/fulltext/2018-…
(1/2) "The frequent 'virtue signaling' of social psychologists in presumptively scientific publications is a key manifestation of our evolved coalitional psychology. We broadcast our commitments to social justice, to opposing discrimination & prejudice, & to eliminating sexism...
(2/2) ...Part of this virtue signaling entails rejecting a caricature of evolutionary psychology that no scientist actually holds."
