My thoughts exactly.
Ooh, I just added that book to my amazon wishlist!
Yes! The original 1634 Sleeping Beauty by Giambattista Basile is really disturbing. The king rapes Sleeping Beauty (Talia) while she sleeps, and she ends up giving birth to twins who eventually wake her by sucking the spinter out of her finger.

Welcome to Jezebel!
You look awesome!
Jezebel's science coverage is usually pretty bad, but I'm all for mocking evolutionary psychology (especially since they usually have a pretty poor understanding of the scientific method themselves). It's almost entirely a pseudoscience that's laughed at by both real psychologists and real evolutionary biologists.
This is a point that ALWAYS seems to be lost on evolutionary psychologists. Our brains did not evolve solely in some mythical Pleistocene savanna environment resulting in a suite of universal hard-wired responses that have remained unchanged for thousands of years. Humans evolved flexible, context-dependent brains…

Funny how people who pick on the easiest, most acceptable targets like to think they're so ~*subversive*~, eh?
