What you do is called "whataboutism" [1] as the scientific value (or otherwise) of evolutionary psychology doesn't affect the lack of methodological self-awareness of Hall, Phillips and Williams, in particular the complete absence of reflection on their own confirmation bias.

    the only people actually researching this

They are not the only people researching this, but in the current political climate, any alternative research is unlikely to get funded.

I just mentioned entire fields that are funded doing research that suggests the alternative. What you're doing is selectively ignoring the implications of cross-disciplinary research.
