Beware of this...🤯 #evolution

what do you think is the number one

predictor of there being child abuse in

a home in lecture one when I'm teaching

an evolution psychology course I'll ask

this question and I'll start putting all

the students answers and they're all

reasonable answers if there is

alcoholism in the home if one of the

parents had been abused in their past so

that they they they mimic that behavior

onto their children then all reasonable

well what if I and by the way no one

guesses what the real answer is so then

I say well guess what guys you just

listed 25 reasonable predictors the

number one predictor is a hundredfold

more predictive than anything that's on

that board I've lectured this a million

times I'm getting Goosebumps telling it

to you right now well the number one

reason Stephen I've kept you in suspense

long enough is if there is a stepparent

in the family
