    But there's no actual fact behind such analyses. It look like some coherent (that's why I like them so much) fiction.

Throughout my entire post I provide a lot of behavioural evidence to support my assertions. You would have to bring up a specific point I make in the post, so that I can respond to this criticism that I believe is unwarranted. I am not just telling an adaptive story.

    I think we can find an evolutionary explanation for that. Like , depending so much on speed for hunting, men get more incentive to go fast as hunter, while women as gatherer dont care that much. It's a plausible explanation. But masquerading it as science, is a bit far fetched in my book.

THIS is ridiculous. There is no evidence for it, and so I have never said it; and would never say it.

    Evolution may be a good explanation for some human behavior, but like Freudian psychoanalyze can be. It hold together very well, it just lack any proof.

Now you're going too far. Biology is the base of our behaviour. Evolution is the process by which our biology exists in the way that it does. Culture emerged (and evolved with) our biology. Evolutionary theory is the best way to get at our fundamental behaviour, and there is a ton of evidence to support it.
