Evolutionary psychologists and even some neuroscientists say that is nonsense.

Psychotherapy attempts to create a learning environment that targets specific skills and abilities--organized by the same neural systems that neuroscientists are in the process of discovering--to induce changes in thinking, feeling, and behavior.

Over the past decade, an army of psychologists, neuroscientists, and evolutionary biologists has been busy trying to uncover the neural “clockwork” that underlies human morality.

Neuroscientists have even magnetically “zapped” carefully targeted areas of people’s brains to influence their moral judgments in surprising ways – for example, making it easier for them to lie.
