No mention whatsoever
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlotte_Bach : This article has absolutely no mention of the con-artist who came up with this theory in the first place. So there is no way that this can be a neutral article without a reference to it's actual history. -- unsigned comment by 216.246.232.41 00:49, 7 November 2014

There is no need for ad hominem against scientists associated with the research tradition. Only referencing if specific theories or hypotheses have been proven or dis-proven should be in the purview of the article. -- 72.83.3.178 (talk) 09:47, 16 September 2015 (UTC)


 * This article has little or nothing to do with the person mentioned. I've removed the tag from the article.  Sparkie82 ( t • c )  18:27, 28 May 2017 (UTC)

Sociobiology is a branch of evolutionary biology concerned with the evolution of social behavior. It is not concerned with mental states and therefore cannot be regarded as a 'psychological theory'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.57.227.56 (talk) 19:24, 2 October 2018 (UTC)

= Remove merge template = The 'merge' template suggests that this article be merged with Human behavior. However, I see no discussion of a merge on the talk page. I will vote no to merging because 'Human ethology' is a distinct research tradition and a likely search term. Agnerf (talk) 13:16, 17 February 2019 (UTC)

= Needs revision = This article has many unsourced claims. There should probably be more references to Eibesfeldt, who is often considered the initiator of this research tradition. It should also me mentioned that human ethology as a research tradition has now been largely succeeded by the closely related evolutionary psychology. Agnerf (talk) 13:21, 17 February 2019 (UTC)
