When I first became aware of evolutionary psychology through Robert Wright’s book “The Moral Animal,” it was a game changer for me. It explained just about everything that had happened to me in my life up to that point. It especially rang true for all the boy-girl stuff.

For those who tend towards thinking of everything in genetic terms, I think the lure towards eugenics becomes irresistible. It has happened before, and I see evidence that it is happening again. The authors of this podcast seem a little too glib and dismissive of this dark history and the possibility of its re-emergence.
