One should at least learn about it, more than a surface article, before engaging in criticisms. Much like I don't speak on structural engineering because I don't know anything about it beyond what I may have seen on the Science Channel.

Brandt,It is you who has came here to bring us the good news about EP. We have read and considered what you have provided, bringing to it our prior knowledge of related fields and looking elsewhere for other perspectives to your one-sided presentation. For my part, what I have chiefly learnt about EP is its woeful, wooful and seemingly willful disregard of basic genetics, ethology, ethnology, natural selection, neurology, psychology, sociology and logic.

Briefly stated, the true purpose of ancient philosophy was to discover a method whereby development of the rational nature could be accelerated instead of awaiting the slower processes of Nature Bro. Manly P Hall (Born this day 1901)

Brother Philip, It is a bit unfair to paint me as an evangelist of EP. I came here because I have enjoyed interacting with you in the past.
For my part, beginning as a sceptic and woefully ignorant one at that, I came to accept the influence of evolution on human behavior. I had to overcome my own ignorance and my own misconceptions. I was eventually satisfied. It isn't a matter of belief. One can examine the evidence and then decide to accept it or reject it.

I could continue to post articles if you would like.

Or you could start to post relevant evidence.

What would you consider relevant? Nothing that I have offered has been considered relevant to you. Statistical analysis and experimental design has been dismissed. I am not sure that I could ever provide you with anything and I am also uncertain that anyone could. 100% won't be reached. You will never have a sample that is equal in number to the total population.
What would you want?

From what you have already posted take your pick. Which one do you think has been the most relevant?

The paper from Yerkes was the most interesting because it is peripherally related to current and pressing problems.
