It is no accident that one of Epstein’s favored disciplines was evolutionary psychology, with its explanations for male dominance, justifications for male aggression, legitimizing of female submission and connections to the race “science” in which Epstein was also interested. The theory offers a universal picture of human nature as a product of the hunter-gatherer environment our species evolved in, which explains our behavior, from promiscuity to gender differences in reading maps. (Criticisms include the difficulty in testing these theories, the fact that we evolved in a range of environments and social groups, and the counterevidence as seen in the social shaping and malleability of supposedly innate abilities and preferences.)
