"The DNA of Politics"

This is for the political junkies out there like myself.  I don't know how I missed this post back in November, but my good friend over at the tdaxp blog has a post entitled "The DNA of Politics."  Dr. John Hibbing of the University of Nebraska at Lincoln published a fascinating report entitled “Are Political Orientations Genetically Transmitted?”  Check out the full blog post here, and you can view Dr. Hibbing's full academic report here (PDF alert).  Comments (either via our email or through tdaxp's blog) are always welcome.

UPDATE:  Dan of tdaxp informs me of another interesting presentation by Dr. Robert Kurzban, Professor of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania.
