TL;DR - Genetic Determinism The Evolutionary Red Herring [05/Nov/15]

Bio-truther! Genetic fatalist! Biological determinism! Using biology to justify X! Neuro-sexist! WE'VE EVOLVED BEYOND OUR BIOLOGY!

If you're ever heard any of these phrases or more when talking about how some behavioral patterns have genetic sources this video and book may help you combat the ignorance of evolutionary psychology that spawns such ridiculous statements.

Remember this is only a excerpt from the introduction of a beginners guide but I thought it addressed these common 'rebuttal' points reasonably well, obviously there is a wealth more nuance and information available on the subject but this is a good starting point.
