Here’s a video making fun of evolutionary psychology

It is generally considered pseudoscience. Its core principle that human psychology stems from evolutionary pressures is true, but beyond that most of the conclusions that the field espouses are pretty much complete bullshit that’s based on vibes without substantial backing by factuality. A lot of unfalsifiable claims, which are a no no to anyone trying to do rigorous science. It’s a complete joke weaponized by the red pill sphere and you shouldn’t take it seriously

Which one? Buss is generally controversial for the small size of his groups and questionable methodology.

Also, evopsych is not real science.

I think it’s about as scientifically accurate as horoscopes.

Which study? also I have a lot of doubts about the entire field of evo-psych. On top of that, redpill types tends to grossly misinterpret the findings in that field to favor their ideology, giving it an even worse reputation.
