(Compelling bad ideas are annoyingly sticky of course, even when well rebutted. But that's not unique to EP by a long shot.)
Anyway, read the paper, marvel at the lack of actual good data on femininity and fertility. Consider doing the critical test research yourself?

📢 Here is my commentary about the pitfalls of taking an impoverished evolutionary approach to culture, which include 'the limitations of a unidirectional model of evolution' and 'the neglect of niche construction theory'. #ehbea #evolution #psychscisky 🧪

Slide highlighting article that has argued for retraction of articles using fraudulent 'national IQ dataset'.
Excellent talk by @rebeccasear.bsky.social at @ishpssb2025.bsky.social on maintenance of scientific racism in contemporary academic literature.
Academic journals play a role in platforming scientific racism (eg failure to retract articles using fradulent 'national IQ dataset').
#ishpssb2025 #ehbea
In this new article on scientific racism (coauthored with @kevinlala.bsky.social, @kztwyman.bsky.social and Marcus Feldman), we present five impediments to countering racist pseudoscience and suggest strategies for containing its spread.

Looks like an interesting special issue on the evolution of cognition. Congrats to the editors.

Atari, Henrich & Schulz (2025): "We discuss the need for psychology to adopt a more holistic lens and propose a research agenda that integrates historical processes, cultural dynamics and ecological variations into psychological inquiry."
#psyscisky #ehbea 🧪
A common claim in #EvoPsych is that the persistence of psychological sex differences in gender-egalitarian* countries shows that the differences are innate. I've argued that ignores the highly-gender-unequal media environment. Now @larawood.bsky.social has proved me right!

Bourrat & Griffiths (2024) examine how the term 'mismatch' has been used in evolutionary medicine: as "[t]he word ‘mismatch’ has been used in a diversity of ways", it is "a vague concept in need of philosophical clarification."

Useful article by Govindaraju & Goldstein (2025), who critique standard models of genetic causation: "the application of molecular indices to predict educational and financial success of children is untenable, and should be avoided." 🧪 #ehbea
