Agreed. You can't say "Sociobiology predicts X for every human society".
It's even a bit nonsensical to talk about evidence "against sociobiology". You can talk about evidence against particular sociobiological theories. But the idea that sociobiology itself is bankrupt, and should not be a field of study - that genetics and evolutionary psychology have no influence on human society - is absurd.
