@hbdchick (much less American Nations) helps much in understanding of present-day political landscape in US. -
@racehist i think they do. diff pops having diff avg frequencies of genes related to political persuasion, etc. biology 101, afaics. -

@WoodardColin oh, thanks! i'd missed that. (^_^) wilson is a great scientist, no doubt. and we're all indebted to him for Sociobiology!
