Letter from Richard Lynn Ph.D. in Support of Paul's Assessment of His Peer Review

“Paul Dachslager has revolutionized our understanding of the political culture and—using evolutionary science—has allowed us to understand in a very clear manner both the social culture of the present and past. He connects the present to the past in a way that is both new and scientifically rigorous. He has taken political discourse out of the realm of opinion and put it on a scientific basis. Politics can now work with facts instead of emotion and intuition. This was always the authors goal for his entire career. As will be clear to the reader, Dr. Dachslager can perfectly explain the controversies surrounding the presidency of Donald Trump and the new populism in Europe. As is crystal clear in this study, these controversies are not new but grow out of morals that are centuries old.

“These findings on the basic structure of political psychology have been supported by several important publications. I have reviewed the relevant scholarship in Edward O. Wilson’s The Social Conquest of Earth, Darwin’s Bridge: Uniting the Sciences and Humanities (Oxford) The Origins of Creativity, Steven Pinker’s Enlightenment Now (Random House), Bernard Chapais (EBS: 11: 63-82, 2017), and David Buss’s The Handbook of Evolutionary Psychology (Wiley). I can support that these works reproduce Dr. Dachslager’s evolutionary psychology for our political culture. These publications are a form of scientific peer review that is an essential part of the path of determining that a theory or model is a scientific fact. The model has been reproduced among African nomads and the newest findings on group selection in history. Paul’s use of chimpanzee behavior to model history is the largest empirical data set we have for a chimp-like origins for humans.

The strength of Dr. Dachslager’s social psychology is such that it may have caused recent academic thought on freewill; and it may have inspired the Tobias Kratzer production of the opera “Tannhauser” at Bayreuth.

“With the publication of Human Sin or Social Sin, we now have the potential to obtain a scientific and united knowledge of our history and political culture—the same solid unity that we have for our understanding of nature. And certainly, a social force that enhances unity in the West is a good. Dr. Paul Dachslager is the Newton and Einstein of psychology and history. The Noble Prize is a sure thing.”

Robert Sapolsky recently commented on the status of group selection for the evolution of altruism:
"Cultures magnify the intensity of between-group selection and lessen within-group selection with ethnocentrism, religious intolerance, and race-based politics...Most in the field now both accept multilevel selection and instances of neogroup selection, especially in humans." (Behave, Penguin, 364)

Anthropologist Pascal Boyer referred to, "...the extraordinary developments of biology and cognitive sciences. [And]...It was only recently that social scientists realized that these empirical disciplines were all making progress...[and]...promising a vertical integration." (Minds Create Societies, Yale University Press, 277)
