About 50% of people are left-wing, about 50% right wing. Probably just down to normal human variation. Doubt either side can ever win.

I think it's more that left & right forms itself around centre which moves a lot.

But centre varies so widely in time & place. Maybe what's innate is our tendency to take a position in relation to it.

In other words, it may be that the perceived threats have changed, not the variation in political types of brain.
