Now that I think about it (after the zillionth time I've heard that)... Why couldn't humans just evolve to be better deceivers?
I imagine humans would evolve at the same time to be better deception detectors. Maybe the two sides of this arms race cancel out. And perhaps there are diminishing returns to being a good liar, if people would distrust good liars generally.
