In the case of my proposed scenario we have the parent as the actor and the child as the recipient. And actually the other way around as well. There is conflict between parent and child. P->C and C->P. This could have resulted in any of the four possible benefit/expense outcomes for the two.

EvPsych is big on the savannah notion. Which is well-hated. It however claims that pre-modern cultures, usually 10k+ years ago had a different set of outcomes for the species. That being aware that such a bio-atom was present in our behavioral pressures would inform us as to how to not repeat certain behaviors.

I see great benefit in that and it is why I and guys like Pinker are so damned excited about EvPsych.

What's the problem here?
