I am not aware that I have made any comments about natural selection.
Well, the reason I asked is that evolution, through natural selection, is the theory generally used for explaining different features that different species posses. I have seen explanations of how natural selection accounts for certain behaviors being "hard wired", but I have not seen any explanations as to how natural selection would account for any "hard wireing" of political persuasions.

But I see now where you said this earlier...

"I have never said there is scientific evidence substantiating my theory. I have said that current research points in that direction..."
So you are expressing an opinion, then. Cool...No explanation needed.

I agree with Modest that the research has some serious flaws.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
