Work still needs to be done[edit]

I mentioned that Buss and Haselton's ideas on false positives and false negatives refers to what they call "Error Management Theory". I also added a little bit of info on the costly information hypothesis and how it relates to adaptive biases in dual inheritance theory, though I don't think I've done it much justice! I also added a couple of other references. There's quite a bit of info on this topic from different points of view. This could potentially be a pretty good article. Hopefully others who are more qualified than me will help improve it! EPM (talk) 01:57, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
