Well it's almost definitional. If evolutionary selection pressures were extreme enough to actually make lukeprog that way, then all men are that way. If evolution did it to him, then it did it to everyone. Evolution doesn't discriminate. What's more likely is that evolution didn't actually make him that way, but societal pressures did.
But that's setting aside the fact that most people tend to wildly anthropomorphize evolution...
I wouldn't expect lukeprog to bring up evolution in that context unless he believed that most men were like him.
