Thank you for pointing all this out

Thank you, Jesse Reynolds, for this smart, succinct post. I am so tired of evolutionary psychologists and journalists making crass, oversimplified, and finally absurdly reductive claims about the relation between genes and behavior.

I frankly wish your post had gotten more airtime on PT. It deserves a big readership.
