7:23 that's a piece if philosophical interpretation here, not science. What is "select for happiness" anyways? What is happiness?..
Overall this lecture seems like a high school level biology class. A bit disappointing.

Evolutionary psychology and psychiatry are such progressive and scientifically valid sciences compared to the psychology that grew out of psychoanalysis. How come then the concept of "attachment theory" is still somehow alive there? So disappointing:(
