Back in August AlphaPsy had series of posts on 'naturalism' in the context of culture. Check them out! (links below) I strongly believe it is important to discuss human affairs with a multi-disciplinary lens, too often the public discourse is presupposed on naive psychology, while elite models tend to fixate on one dimension (e.g., the 'rational actor,' a pet historical paradigm, etc.).
A Primer on Darwinian Psychiatry
A Primer on Coevolutions and Domestications
A Primer on the Psychology of Politics
A Primer on Science and Folk Science
A Primer on Racialist Prejudices
My posting of the links are not an edorsement of the totality of the arguments in each post, rather, they are an accurate reflection of what I believe is the right direction to go in the human sciences.

This truism is always worth recalling: there are no biologically defined human groups. Homo Sapiens is peculiar in this respect: it is the only species of its kind.
peculiar indeed.
