Whaaa? Wait a minute--this discussion is getting totally derailed. When did
you get your PhD in evolutionary psychology? What chair or other academic
post in this discipline do you hold? Why would anyone regard you as an
*authority* on evolutionary psychology, rather than as a bright person who
has read some books on the topic (like many of the other amateurs here)?
