As a rule, I'm skeptical of everything that uses evolution to explain societal structures. Most of the time it just boils down to a nifty story devoid of any evidence.
That seems to be the case here:
1) Come up with a point you want prove
2) Rejig the currently accepted but highly unrealistic assumptions in the field until the model gives the desired result
3) Publish!
I see this kind of nonsense in economics papers all the time. Heartening to see that we aren't the only ones cursed with pointless theorizing.

Except the weather. It's so dreary, all the time. I don't understand why the whole country didn't just move to Australia.
