Keith I don't recall seeing anyone post anything suggesting they resisted understanding the deep psychological traits.  On the contrary, the notions of evolutionary psychology have been accepted and embraced here as far as I can tell.  I will grant that I personally embrace it for a perfect excuse for my baser instincts toward competitiveness.  Hey, I can't help it, evolution made me this way.  I don't need to apologize for anything, any more than the apes at the local zoo need to feel abashed for their ways.

It could be that someone has challenged the notion of EP, but I don't recall it.  The whole idea makes perfect sense to me.  I have watched dogs, who are born with certain notions of how to behave according to their breed.  That would be a form of facilitated evolutionary psychology, ja?  Well, if dog breeders can do this over a short span of time, nature can do it over a long span of time.
