Evolutionary psychologists go to some lengths to insist that, unlike exponents of earlier versions of social Darwinism, they are not genetic determinists, or as they sometimes put it, nativists. Rather, they argue that the nature/nurture dichotomy is a fallacious one. Instead, they seek to account for what they believe to be universals in terms of a version of Darwinian theory - a version which in practice owes more to Dawkins reductive fundamentalism than it does to Darwin s own more pluralistic and observation-rich insights.
