Evolutionary psychology makes a lot of claims about cognitive recognition, yet relies on genetics to be true.
For example it makes those claims:
>people evolved to find big eyes, soft skin and fluffy cheeks cute and so that helped babies survive, which is why babies look the way they do and why we're into cuteness
>tall men are preferred over small men because it makes the women feel protected
>women evolved to get sexually aroused by scenes of rape in the same way they'd get aroused by physical rape because it would have lessened damage to their genitalia
How would protein-coding genes make any of these true? Like what king of protein would make someone's brain able to detect cuteness from things not cute?

How would genes make a woman's brain recognize rape in a movie and subsequently make her turned on?
Hould would genes make a woman recognize height differences and enforce a height preference?
