Had a great time talking to Dave and David about a range of things. Their podcast has been a fantastic forum for deep dives on evo psych for a whole year now (congrats!).

Feeling a bit ingroupy these days? A little open to extreme punishments for certain crimes? A little down on sibling incest? Maybe living near family (or seeing them at the holidays) is shaping your psychology. New paper on the ecology of relatedness: psycnet.apa.org/record/2025-...
