If you ignore absolutely everything you hear about it from anyone not in academia, yeah. I feel like choking a bitch whenever I hear someone say shit like "our ancestors' life in the savannah explain why women like shoe-shopping"

This desu, its really good for setting the framework for psychology and why we have reflexes and so on but it won't answer complex social definitions of things.

On the grounds of giving Humanistic Psychology the middle finger, yes. On the grounds of explaining why people will mostly follow self-serving behaviors, also yes. Just don't go turbo-autist with it or you'll be what fpbp >>11899809 is describing.
