Exhibit 1 is surely http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._O._Wilson - father of sociobiology.
Yes, but what does this have to do with evolutionary psychology? The wiki article on Wilson never mentions evolutionary psychology. When I Google for "Wilson evolutionary psychology", I find this complaint that Wilson doesn't like "evolutionary psychology" even though the author wants to claim Wilson as the founder of the discipline.
So lets have Exhibit 2. [Edit: minor typo]
The quote seems to be:
"Today, my only complaint is that Wilson has never really embraced the word usage of "evolutionary psychology" and prefers that we consider it nothing more than "human sociobiology"."
Sociobiology came first - evolutionary psychology is a more modern offshoot that only deals with human universals and mostly ignores human culture.
