Depending on what you mean by "cool"... most evopsych stuff that makes it out into the greater world is little more than the psych version of "aliens made the great pyramids in Egypt, Stonehendge, and the ziggurauts in various South American countries."

There has to be some real stuff there to study. It can't just be only rascism all the way down you know

I think a really sticky point is "How do you test this hypothesis?"

Like, if some yolk-head decides to make a statement like, "Rape is actually a good way to spread your genetic material around"... Nobody wants to test that hypothesis that isn't itching for the barbara-pit.

I want to say something like, cultural anthropology, is already doing what the evopsychics are trying for.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
