From the Creek Running North news desk: Belief in Evolutionary Psychology May Be Hardwired, Study Says.

Further study by Mann-Esser’s team found a surprising commonality among the five percent of subjects showing clinical signs of susceptibility to evolutionary psychology, which the team refers to as “Desmond Morris Syndrome,” or DMS. Ninety percent of the DMS-positive subjects shared a single allele, first isolated by researchers at the University of Lucerne. The recessive allele, named luz-R, was absent from the remaining 95 percent of test subjects. (The corresponding dominant allele, luc-ID, has been tentatively linked to critical thought faculties and penis size.)

Evidence also suggests that Nice Guy® Syndrome, a condition thought to be strongly correlated with the luz-R allele, may have been present in human populations as long ago as the Upper Paleolithic:

    I’ve done a little research on the evolution man took the day Janet Jackson showed us her nipple ring and here are the conclusions:
    1.Only certain humans watch the superbowl.
    2.Only certain fans watch the halftime events.
    3.Only one breast(right) was uncovered(apart from the nipple ring.
    4.Only .03% of the worlds population even knew of the existence of nipple rings.
    5.Mankind(Peoplekind), since the exposure of Janet Jackson’s right breast and nipple ring during the 2004 Superbowl halftime festivities have evolved the inate sense known as “the nipple sense” which resides in the area of the brain known as “the Nippons” located near the lower half of the right hemisphere. Noted EvPsychologist Nolan Fist told his followers that since God has become unbelievable at best you all should listen to reason, as an example concentrate on your nipples and imagine Hannibal Lecter asking you if you miss Janet Jackson….you see, you can feel it too!

    Okay, I was drinking a Fresca while reading this and let me tell you, one hearty guffaw and Fresca really stings the nostrils. I thought after reading about the snake nothing would ever be funny again but turns out women are hardwired to laugh at evo-psych.

    Ann, I felt like titling that post, “I am never going to the bathroom again.” That would be a hell of a thing to pull off, but it’s how I feel.
