A biochemist recently challenged me to identify a single valuable and/or interesting finding that evolutionary psychology (EP) has produced. Notwithstanding the astonishing hyperbole inherent to such a statement, I decide to take him up on his offer. In today's post, I list a small set of findings originating from the EP framework that I consider to be demonstrative of the field's capacity to generate interesting, innovative, and powerful findings. I am hoping that the readers will note that none of the findings are congruent with genetic determinism; none condone or justify rape or male infidelity; none consist of fanciful just-so story telling; and none posit unfalsifiable hypotheses. Archimedes, as shown in the teaser image, was famous for having had a Eureka moment. Let's hope that I might trigger an Archimedean epiphany in some of the anti-EPers albeit I suspect that their staunchly held opinions are non-malleable.
