Paper on men falling asleep after sex is Exhibit A for weak evolutionary psychology

I don't think the researchers are suggesting here that men actually stay awake longer because they are afraid their partner will leave for another mate. Instead, I'm pretty sure they're suggesting that men stay awake longer because ancient humans were afraid their partner would leave for someone else. I'm not even sure which of those is the shakier suggestion.

No, they are suggesting that men who stayed awake to make sure their women weren't cuckolding them sired more of their own biological children then men who fell asleep and got cuckolded.

Any study like this would need to be compared to similar behavior in chimpanzees and bonobos, no?
