Look at him lie and misrepresent himself in this video. At 12:10, he claims to be an evolutionary biologist. Whoops. No, you're not JP. You're a hack fraud.

Eh.  Clinical psychology is a cross-disciplinary field by design, and includes evolutionary theory and clinical research.  A few seconds with google will see how intertwined the field is with evolutionary biology (i.e. of the brain and behaviors). I'd wager you can find plenty of lectures in which Peterson discusses at great length the influence of evolutionary biology on behavior and cognition. Remember, he's not some Youtuber that just became famous for being obnoxious-- he's a professor at a top university, and has been for quite a long time.

Is there some specific point of his evolutionary claims with which you disagree?
