You're listening to a podcast from Meaning of Life TV.

Hi, Augustine. How are you?

I am well. How about yourself?

I'm not complaining. Let me introduce this on Robert Wright. This is the right show available on both streaming video and via audio podcast.

You're our Augustine Fuentes, a professor of anthropology at Princeton University.

And this is a kind of continuation of a conversation we had some months ago on this very podcast.

That conversation was mainly about a now pretty famous editorial you wrote for the journal

Science about the legacy of Darwin's book, The Descent of Man.

I had written something in reply in my newsletter, the non-zero newsletter.

It was somewhat critical, and we had a great conversation about that.

Toward the end of the conversation, we got onto another hot button issue,

which is the issue of, I guess you could say, differences between male and female humans

that are psychological, that are said to exist, that are psychological, and are said by some to have

some basis in genetic differences between men and women.

The people saying that latter thing would be evolutionary psychologists mainly.

I have written, you might say very sympathetically, about

evolutionary psychology in a book I wrote called The Moral Animal. It's not to say I endorse

everything that everyone who calls himself an evolutionary psychology says. So we're going to, we

vowed to continue that conversation about the issue of sex differences.

I would say especially in the realm of sexual psychology.

I want to make a couple of things clear from the beginning that I think you'll probably sign on to.

If not, you can let us know.
