I read the link, I like Haidt's work.
What I do in these discussions is I get my dualism theory in order, in my head. We all need to decide if we believe in dual independent instinctual developments in evolution, that we are dual instict based, because most of these lines of research diverge based upon one's "dualism".
If you want an example of a dualist theory of evolution, here it is.
Evolution, a long time ago, was solving the problem of multi-cellular oganisms, asexual and sexual resproduction. It could not give up asexual reprodution because sexual reproduction evolved on it using someting called alternating of generations.
So, the big bang of evolution was the idea that a multicellular organism could host internal asexual reproduction if it could inject the sexual offspring into a safe environemtn for mating.
Under this theory, we have two masters, one wants the host protected from and nourished by the environment, and the other wants to get very very close to something supporting an enviroment for mating. The two form the basic modes of the multicellular organism.
