I've been reading Buller and I am quite impressed.

I think Cosmides' and Tooby's book does make such claims about cave man
thinking, and I think Buss does as well. Pinker, hmm, maybe not. At any
rate Buller's book is very carefully argued, and well researched.

I'll be interested to look it out then. The review you posted does seem a little triumphalist in tone so might be doing the original book a disservice.

What would you think that Buller's main thesis actually is - if, as I'm suggesting, the review is simplistic?
