Evolutionary psychology and societal resistance
Evolutionary psychology, which posits that human behavior is shaped by evolution, faces resistance from many social scientists who argue that humans are exempt from biological influences. Some believe that evolutionary explanations imply determinism, which is misunderstood. Additionally, the misuse of evolutionary theory by certain individuals for their political agendas has tainted its perception in academic circles.
