Not sure what you have exactly in mind, but Michael's take is very much "modern" with in particular a focus on cultural evolution.

I have noticed that discussions in Evo psych often revolve around the more classical evolutionary biology, pre 1960 and so on. No or few discussions of how gene expressions, epigenetics, development over time, stochastic variation and so play a role in human evolution. I am going to read this book though. Seems very fascinating.

My experience with good modern evolutionary psychology (we have a strong group at UQ) is that they are quite attuned to modern genetics.
