[ExI] Evolutionary pathology

[Keith Henson]

I have bitched about how hard it is to get people to grok evolutionary
psychology.  (Particularly when it involves people understanding human
motivations.)

Of course, you need to grok evolution, genetic selection, and
something of biology and embryogenesis before you stand a chance of
understanding evolutionary psychology.

At least the first of these is now accepted by a little more than 50%
of the US population.

Given the way other things have been going in the culture wars, I
expected it to go down over the last few years.  On the other hand,
the endless talk about COVID evolving from one variety to another may
have influenced people to accept evolution.
