Sažetak
It is no news that evolutionary behavioral sciences have been received with skepticism, in both popular and scientific outlets. Interestingly, even though evolutionary behavioral scientists traditionally aim to provide the ultimate explanations of behavior, they lag behind in applying the same level of causation in explaining the cold reception of their discipline. Here, we differentiate between the “how” and the “why” to explain human determination in proving their exceptionalism from the rest of the natural world. Deeper understanding of these motivations might result in interventions aimed at changing the popularly held view of this field as “bad science.”
