Yeah, I'm going to be honest, I don't think "evo-psych" is a respectably science. Much less something you can AFFIRM something like this.

I know a lot of scientists who aren't from this area sometimes say stupid shit and talk about evolutionary psychology like it were something... true. But these shit it's mostly based on anecdotes, "cultural" data as its best. Heck, a lot of studies already showed how higher mental capabilities aren't something to be linked with genes besides the ones who give the human species a brain. Dude, I don't want to affirm anything, there is a lot to study, but "mental capabilities adapting to become genetic since the homo sapiens-sapiens became an species" would be the equivalent to affirming that there is a higher incidence of cancer today because our body is evolving to kill itself.
