Here’s a fun game
Fill in the blanks for x, y, and z…
“University of Michigan psychologist William McKibbin and his colleagues write in a 2008 piece for the Review of General Psychology, ‘No sensible person would argue that a scientist researching the causes of cancer is thereby justifying or promoting cancer. Yet some people argue that investigating [x] from an evolutionary perspective justifies or legitimizes [x].’
“The unfortunate demonization of this brand of inquiry is rooted in the fallacy of biological determinism (according to which [y] are programmed by their genes to [z] and have no free will to do otherwise) and the naturalistic fallacy (that because [x] is natural it must be acceptable). These are resoundingly false assumptions that reveal a profound ignorance of evolutionary biology.”
