Darwinian psychologist straw man's ass kicked

Science author Joe Quirk defends Darwinian psychology from a high-profile attack in a book by Anne Innis Dagg. "Dagg manages to cram three misunderstandings into these two paragraphs, one confused conflation, and three wacky leaps of logic...I have the urge to hit my game show wrong-answer! buzzer twice per declarative sentence..."

Quirk argues Dagg's book overlooks nearly every prominent Darwinian psychologist, and instead attacks unrelated "straw men" to discredit their research. "What we're seeing here are the crumbled ruins of a tremendous ideological bulwark that was set against biological explications for human behavior way back in 70s... [Matt] Ridley's four books about evolutionary psychology have been translated into 25 languages and sold half a million copies, and Dagg only mentions one, in the bibliography."
