    (Although all those articles follow the same formula: find some garbage evopsych publications => conclude the whole premise is nonsense)

    Wow, you read those articles that you labeled as “spam” very quickly.

    Or did you not read them and thus not know what they said?

    Seems dishonest either way.

    But I am amused by your CFI is not the Skeptical Inquirer claim when that’s literally the publication put out by CFI.

    Edit:

    And they aren’t notable

    Now I know you’re being dishonest. Not only does the article state their qualifications and link to where they wrote it, suggesting Stephen Jay Gould is not notable is ludicrous.
