Evo psyc is always bullshit,

Wait, what?! There are some bad evo psy, especially the "pop", not actually peer reviewed kind, but to write off the whole discipline... I mean, are you aware it is mostly just about getting ideas from evolution, but their experimental testing is with the methods of "normal" mainstream psychology? This is precisely what the article talks about. After they got these ideas, they tested them with normal psychological tests.
