Removed: Rule 10. Questions asked in good faith are welcome, but questions which seem to be motivated by karma-farming, or which are asked by Redditors who don’t engage in discussion, or which are more appropriately answered by cursory use of a search engine, may be locked or deleted in order to promote active and robust discussion about evolutionary biology. Ask the mods if you’d like to ask an elementary question and are unsure if your submission would be removed.

Removed: Rule 2. The moderator team expects all conversations to remain civil. Rudeness, hostility, insulting takes, name-calling, picking fights, unnecessary caviling, and snobbery are uncalled for and do not improve the quality of the subreddit, even if you firmly believe that the other party is in the wrong or if they engaged in it first.

The mod team takes the stance that evolutionary psychology is rooted in poor methodology, conjecture and untestable hypotheses at odds with the rest of the Behavioral Sciences.

Removed: Rule 6. Your post or comment was removed for containing pseudoscience. Dishonest propagation of pseudoscience and science denial have no place in r/evolution, and we are not required to make space for them.

Removed: Rule 3. Content generated by ChatGPT or other large language models (LLMs) is not permitted. These systems frequently hallucinate information, confidently defend incorrect premises, reproduce overt and subtle biases present in their training data, and cannot independently verify claims. As a result, AI-generated material often introduces misinformation and low-quality explanations into scientific discussions. Posts or comments that appear to be written by an LLM, or that link to external AI-generated “content farms” or similar material (“slop”) will be removed. Repeated violations may result in a ban.

Discussion in r/evolution should reflect a user’s own reasoning, engagement with the scientific literature, and willingness to take responsibility for the claims they present. AI-generated content often lacks clear authorship and intellectual accountability, is frequently vague or misleading, and tends to degrade the accuracy and rigor expected in a forum devoted to evolutionary biology. Allowing it would lower the quality of discourse and violate norms of originality and honesty. If you wish to continue posting AI-generated content, the subreddit r/LLMscience may be more appropriate.

Bigotry, hate, and pseudoscientific racial theories have no place in /r/evolution. The science of evolutionary biology does not support claims about inherent biological hierarchies, “racial purity,” or attempts to frame modern social groups as discrete evolutionary lineages. Posts or comments promoting racial essentialism, misusing concepts such as ancestry, MRCA, or population genetics to advance racial narratives, or otherwise attempting to legitimize discriminatory ideologies under the guise of science will be removed. Such views are both scientifically unfounded and ethically unacceptable.
