Love the article. My feeling is that a lot of people find talk of 'evolution', when it comes to any policy discussions or debate around the structure of society, a little 'weird' or uncomfortable.

I wonder if there's any practical steps people interested in this stuff can take not to put people off? Is there something in the manner in which science is talked about maybe?

Interesting question. I think evolutionary ideas challenge several of our intuitions and social narratives about the world. I am not sure there is an easy solution, but progressively making sense of the world in a way that allows people to adjust their intuitions and for new social narratives to emerge is one way forward.
