A Note

Since many people seem to be confused, I just want to put this out there. As awesome as evolutionary psychology is, the earnest scientist-types who developed these theories did not do so in order to provide you with a get-out-of-jail-free card for acting like a pig. If I see one more post about how something that happened on the savanna a zillion years ago excuses your inability to control yourself today--despite the many blessings of civilization--I will scream.

I specifically said you can talk about how one should act, but you cannot change how people think.

Completely different. I am not making a normative statement about it. No justification. Just saying what I have understood to be true.
