From an interview with Martha McCaughey [via K]:

My goal in The Caveman Mystique is to encourage the average non-academic person to question the authority of science, particularly the “scientific” claims of evolutionary psychologists talking about human behavior and sexual desire and especially such claims discussed in the popular press. We must understand that those claims are loaded with values and are far from neutral and objective.
