Never Heard of Him

Evolutionary psychology.  I don’t know much about this subject to be frank, fortunately, I found this interview, conducted by Bernard Chapin for Men’s News Daily. The interviewee is one Dr. David Buss, who is not simply a professor, but a “Full Professor” of Evolutionary Psychology at the University of Texas.

Buss has a new tome to market, and one to reissue in accompaniment, thus the interview.  The title of the piece is "Courage, Not Denial: An Interview with Dr. David Buss," and indeed Dr. Buss is interviewed and speaks to evolutionary psychology and some of his previous writing.  The main gist of the interview though is a defense of his studies and the sweeping research he conducted in support of his study.  I’m wondering how strong his research is if Dr. Buss states the following in regard to the conclusions drawn.

”...it met my own scientific standard for believing the hypotheses to be confirmed."
