Cross-sex and intrasexual theory of mind
Canceling creativity? Exploring artist censure as a function of crime type
Beyond falsifiability
We thank Moore (2026) and Geary (2026) for their thoughtful commentaries on Costello et al. (2026). Both agree on our core premise: that evolutionary psychology's hypotheses are falsifiable. We hope this shared recognition can help finally dispel the mistaken claim that evolutionary psychology is inherently unfalsifiable. Moore rightly notes that "falsifiability is a necessary but insufficient quality of a good scientific theory" (Moore, 2026, p.…
Evolutionary psychology hypotheses are testable and falsifiable
The field of evolutionary psychology has often been the target of allegations that its hypotheses are unfalsifiable. This article revisits this decades-old critique by examining the logic of falsifiability and the specific criteria required for a hypothesis to be considered falsified. We evaluate the multiple levels of analysis in the heuristic framework from which evolutionary psychology hypotheses are derived. We then present evidence of severa…
Cross-sex theory of mind in the domain of sexual violence
Why Boulder Springs has no boulders and no springs
Men's attitudes toward third party casual sex
The reproductive self-interest model of morality (RSIMM) is a framework for understanding moral judgments associated with sexual behavior. This model posits that individual differences in sexual strategies, mediated by one's religiosity and political orientation, casually influence people's moral judgments toward social hot-button issues. Previous work on the RSIMM has explained individual differences in attitudes toward abortion, prostitution, a…
Sometimes we want vicious friends
The role of parent-offspring conflict in Shuar partner choice and marital practices
Previous research argues that female choice may not be as powerful an influence on the evolution of human mating preferences as once expected given the importance of parental choice in marital practices across cultures. Furthermore, much of the literature supporting this argument assumes that endorsed cultural norms reported in the ethnographic record accurately represent individuals' behaviors. Here, we argue that the roles of parent-offspring c…
