8/8 David Buss and Richard Dawkins on Evolutionary Psychology

[mtb416]

While obvious, the point about building hypotheses upon hypotheses is still a good point to make. The average person, like those who will never watch this discussion (let alone all eight parts), wants straightforward reasons. In terms of human attitude and behavior, straightforward reasoning rarely exists.

Behaviour are generally better indicator of mans genetic quality tho then physical traits. Confidence, charachter etc.

Strange he dosent talk about it, he says it in his books

@Horrorskon Hey just curious, which book was it? Evolution of Desire? Dangerous Passion?

[caradhye]

@PhilosopherHero Most of the stuff is a mixture of several of Buss's books. Evolution of Desire is more focused on Mate Selection.

Love the way they've been having a fascinating in-depth discussion for the last hour, and then suddenly there's an awkward pause and Dawkins immediately says kthanksbye

Excellent series. Dave Buss comes across as very intellectually honest.
