Summary
This document appears to be a printout of an email correspondence or draft response between scientists, likely involving Peter Richerson ('pjr') and an unnamed evolutionary biologist (the author writing in caps). The text contains a heated academic debate regarding the validity of 'cultural argumentation' versus 'genetic' or evolutionary biology explanations for human behavior, specifically citing kinship, grandmother investment, and honour killings. The document bears a 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT' Bates stamp, suggesting it was obtained during a congressional investigation, likely related to Jeffrey Epstein's connections to the scientific community.
