Subrena Smith recently argued that “evolutionary psychology, as it is currently understood, is…impossible.” Here is my response:

Thanks for this necessary reply! Smith should have taken more time to read the literature (but also makes good points). E.g. she needs to know that « learned » vs « evolved » is a long-refuted false dichotomy (a point little emphasised by your response):

Re: learning requires evolved mechanisms. I agree, but I wanted to bend over backwards to grant Smith as many of her points as I could and see if I could still rescue EP.

Hauser et al. do not say that recursion is domain-general, they actually claim it is the only property specific to language (and to humans)

H,C&F: "We hypothesize that FLN only includes recursion and is the only uniquely human component of the faculty of language. We further argue that FLN may have evolved for reasons other than language" I interpret them "there was no selection for language specifically" Disagree?

What do you specifically mean when talking about "computational ability"?

For example, the computations necessary to recognize objects in a visual scene.

Thanks for this. It nails much of my discomfort of that piece. Also, FWIW, nailed it on the framing/tone. So much of science Twitter descends into the usual dunkfest for disliked things. So I loved this.
