what makes me is that book is almost the exact copy of a series of undergraduate Animal Behavior courses... I took some of them in undergrad. Each lecture had some disclaimer *This does not apply for humans*. His book conjectures (citing compelling evidence) that most of those principles do apply to humans.

Almost finished with it. The stretches with his application to humans get more and more ''stretchy'' towards the end of the book, particularly chapter 10
