A very good article, but I would be careful about taking it too seriously.

Evolutionary psychology is a very new field of study and is very short of hard facts. All of the mappings from evolutionary forces to human behavior are speculation.

Some of the mappings are obvious, like his bit about Stockholm syndrome. But obvious ideas that have never been scrutinized are one of the great dangers of science. They become conventional wisdom, and go for generations without being questioned.

The related question of how specific behavior is actually mapped to the brain is even more uncertain. While scientists do have hard mappings for a few input/output sections, the question of how the brain does higher logic is nothing but guesswork.

And until that question can be answered, there really can be no hard answer to the question of specific evolutionary forces directing specific human behavior.
