[Q] Do you think that what is now called evolutionary psychology is the same thing as sociobiology?

Yes, I mean, I think of it as son of sociobiology. And I think that people working in the field would agree with that characterisation. It does differ, I think, in the sense that some of the early socio-biologists came from biology, which is no sin, but really did feel that they could do it without learning anything about sociology of psychology. The present generation seem to me to be technically qualified anthropologists or sociologists or psychologists, and really, you know, they have the proper background in their own discipline. I still have reservations about where it's going. The difficulty at the moment is that there are lots of interesting ideas around but very hard to come to really convincing evidence to support the ideas. There are a few really admirable pieces of work where one really does feel that the Darwinian explanation of something is being well backed up by good data. But there seems to be an awful lot of cases where, you know, you'd like some data but it isn't quite there. So I think the subject has got a lot of hard work to do yet.
