Evolutionary Psychology has a lot of internal problems because of this..

I mean it could all be bullshit

"The big issue stems from how data is gathered. After all, for evolution to influence behaviour that characteristic has to be heritable (i.e., have a genetic foundation). However, establishing a definitive link between a particular behaviour and a gene would require human testing on a scale that would make the Nazis queasy.

Instead, scientists reason that since humans are almost genetically identical then behaviours with a genetic basis should also be very similar between people. So rather than conducting horrific genetic experiments they just look for “universal” behaviours instead. Everyone’s a winner."

So everything from Jordan Peterson to James DaMore is sitting on shaky ass ground yet Rogan takes what is said from them as gospel because there is one study that was done with 20 people that says women close their eyes when they shoot so they aren't good soldiers or some stupid shit.
