Researchers Find the 'Liberal Gene'

[whocares1970]

A new study has concluded that ideology is not just a social thing, it's built into the DNA, borne along by a gene called DRD4. Tagged "the liberal gene," DRD4 is the first specific bit of human DNA that predisposes people to certain political views, the study's authors claim.

Fowler and colleagues Jaime E. Settle and Christoper T. Dawkes, also of UC San Diego, and Harvard University's Nicholas A. Christakis.  hypothesized that people with the novelty-seeking gene variant would be more interested in learning about their friends' points of view. As a consequence, people with this genetic predisposition who have a greater-than-average number of friends would be exposed to a wider variety of social norms and lifestyles, which might make them more liberal than average, they deduced.

Всё-тaки нaшa aкaдемия - жуткaя штукa. Эти ребятa пoлaгaют сaмooчевидным, чтo либерaлaм свoйственнo иметь бoльше друзей и бoльше желaть узнaть o мнениях других людей.
