Evolution defended - against misguided attack meant for Pop Ev Psych?

In The Nation, Jerry Coyne has a double book review: A thorough defense of Richard Dawkins' latest, while exposing the flaws in Jerry Fodor and Massimo Piattelli-Palmarini's new book, "What Darwin Got Wrong."

As to the latter, Fodor sums up by saying he thinks Fodor has jumped from an attack on Ev Psych (Coyne doesn't distinguish what's legit from Pop Ev Psych) to an attack on natural selection in general.
