I get really fed up with ... let's call it caveman essentialism? This is everywhere and speaking as an anthropologist, it's pure horseshit. The idea that "when we were cavemen" or "hunter-gatherers" or "back in the stone age," deployed to explain (read: justify, throw one's hands up at) modern, culturally specific behaviors, in the name of evolutionary biology ... this really gets my goat.
