  • Actual title of the research paper is Elective co-parenting with someone already known versus someone met online: implications for parent and child psychological functioning.

    It compares a small sample of two different co-parenting situations, and while it does conclude they are both within “normal range”, it certainly doesn’t make or justify the claim in the headline, which doesn’t even mention co-parenting.

    The problem is there isn’t anything “useful” for understanding humans [in evolutionary psychology]. Yes we can come up with plausible evolutionary justifications for behavior like cooperation, but they are basically untestable and useless for predictions.

    Edited to clarify I mean specifically evolutionary psychology.
