Then we became civilized which allowed the woosie men with the thin crania housing the underpowered brains to survive which gave rise to the Democrats.
Genes play a part, but violence may be viralThe apparent implication is that dopamine and serotonin genes play an important role in aggressive violence. But genes cannot be the whole story of violence in the animal kingdom. Consider baboons, for instance. In the wild they are normally peaceful and live in harmony with their fellow primates. But after associating with humans for a while, baboons turn nasty. They attack each other rather viciously, in fact, sinking their fangs into the most sensitive of body regions. Females try to bite the tails off of other females... In the violent ones, a brain region called the superior temporal gyrus seems enlarged on the left side. In peaceful baboons that region seemed larger on the right side of the brain. For some reason, the violent baboons' brains become modified in a way that promotes aggression.

Dallas Morning NewsThe Scars of Evolution"The most remarkable aspect of Todaro's discovery emerged when he examined Homo Sapiens for the 'baboon marker'. It was not there... Todaro drew one firm conclusion. 'The ancestors of man did not develop in a geographical area where they would have been in contact with the baboon. I would argue that the data we are presenting imply a non-African origin of man millions of years ago.'"
