Edit - Addendum: The video title is quite clickbait-y. The video doesn’t want to debunk any “serious” science, but rather investigates how badly done research with no reproducability or horrible statistical significance is used to influence the discourse in favour of regressive politics.

    Repeating your point dosn’t make it less wrong. You didn’t watch the video. You don’t get to judge it.

    Please show the scientific process went in establishing that mistrust of strangers is a genetically evolved trait. That’s one of the biggest problems of evopsych: basically all theories are post-hoc. That’s not science, it’s wild speculation with a bunch of unfalsifiable claims.

    Are you seriously comparing the breeding of crops with the human genome? Analysing the human genome is not the same as eugenics with a less burned name. The whole idea of eugenics is to make the human gene pool more shallow in favour of more “advantageous” traits/genes.and that doesn’t work, no matter how well the human genome is understood.

    Also: nobody mentioned game theory or behavioral ecology, but you. Adting as if they were ever under attack by this video is mansplaining an best and strawmanning at worst.
