==== Evaluation of social relations hypothesis ==== Davies et al. (1995) have argued that Cosmides and Tooby's argument in favor of context-sensitive, domain-specific reasoning mechanisms as opposed to general-purpose reasoning mechanisms is theoretically incoherent and inferentially unjustified.<ref name="DFF">{{cite journal |last1= Davies |first1= Paul Sheldon |last2= Fetzer |first2= James H. |last3= Foster |first3= Thomas R. |year= 1995 |title= Logical reasoning and domain specificity |journal= [[Biology and Philosophy]] |volume= 10 |issue= 1 |pages= 1–37 |doi= 10.1007/BF00851985 |s2cid= 83429932 }}</ref> Von Sydow (2006) has argued that we have to distinguish deontic and descriptive conditionals, but that the logic of testing deontic conditionals is more systematic (see Beller, 2001) and depend on one's goals (see Sperber & Girotto, 2002).<ref name="vonSydow2006">{{cite thesis | last=von Sydow| first=M. | title= Towards a Flexible Bayesian and Deontic Logic of Testing Descriptive and Prescriptive Rules| year=2006| location=Göttingen | publisher=Göttingen University Press | doi=10.53846/goediss-161 | s2cid=246924881 |url=https://ediss.uni-goettingen.de/handle/11858/00-1735-0000-0006-AC29-9| type=doctoralThesis | doi-access=free }}</ref><ref name="Beller2001">{{cite book |last=Beller |first=S. |editor1-last=Moore |editor1-first=J.
