Gil-White ð2001Þ and also Machery and Faucher ð2005aÞ focus on racialism—the view that 'races' have biological essences—rather than racism, Gil-White, Machery, and Faucher, following Atran, believe species was adaptive, claims Gil-White, because it enabled inductive inferences without "too much costly interaction with out-group members" the argument: from folk-biology module to ECAD, to its unfortunate misfiring, facilitating racial, and racist cognition. there are in fact human races, or subspecies, but because the ECAD mistakenly 'processes' racialized groups as if they were ethnies. In this section I argue against this tendency in relation to essentialist thinking about ethnies and racialized groups. ethnocentrism and racialism from racism, Gil-White, Machery, and Faucher have overlooked the possible motivational factors behind essentialist cognitive structure, may explain the ubiquity of ethnic essentialism and racialism.	./cache/work_f7cnhpghvfh5nddbeaamhit5lq.pdf	./txt/work_f7cnhpghvfh5nddbeaamhit5lq.txt
