Sometimes I shouldn't use words

Good, it was fun to write. And evolutionary psycholgy aargh! I think a big part of the problem (aside from some the major proponents being as mad as badgers) is that if often takes the easy fun part of behavioural ecology, the 'just so' story creating, without bothering to follow it up with the rigourous testing or looking for mechanisms. There was one particularly insane example recently where some guy had managed to show a (barely) statisically significant correlation between breast asymmetry and phase of the menstrual cycle and was claiming that this was due to men using breast symmetry to choose the most fertile women to cop off with. You can spot them in every night club with tape measures at the ready.
