Nice. I've been waiting for this since I saw Smokin' Joe Carroll's video lecture on the topic. I thought they were writing a Big Book, though.

It certainly isn't sexy reading, but there's lots to think about there, and the thinking and arguments seem tighter than they were Gotschall's coding study of folk tales and feminism.

I'd also like to get my hands on Goodheart's Darwinian Misadventures in the Humanities (mentioned in the article). I read a review of it in Skeptic but it didn't tell much. Was mostly interested in making a case for atheism.
