So, according to this, Nazi society was formed on german behavior which is fundamentally determined by german genetics. Chinese culture and society is formed on chinese behavior which is fundamentally determined by chinese genetics, and so on. Personally, I think astrology sounds more sensible than this.

The shape of any human society you pick is fundamentally determined by genetically encoded human behavior traits. Environment plays a role, but it is the interplay between environment and genetics that ultimately shape the society. Also, given the same genetic imperatives for human behavior, geographically isolated societies can develop in dramatically different ways, even while still exhibiting the basic human behaviors common to all societies.

There is a reason no culture, ever, has spontaneously become extremely socialist--it is because it is not in human nature (determined by genetics) to work for the benefit of "society" and expect to receive nothing more than minimal survival requirements in return. There is a reason that gay "marriage" has never spontaneously developed in any society--it is because the survival of the species requires mating pair-bonds to form in order to maximize survival of children--again, genetically determined behavior. The fact that the left must force these behaviors on us is pretty strong evidence that neither socialism nor gay mating pair-bonds occur naturally--meaning that these behaviors are *not* encoded in our genes.

Show me exactly which genes caused the Roman empire and the Russian revolution.

Rather, a more sensible explanation is that there are no genes for socialism, republicanism, liberalism, communism, empire loyalism, toryism and whiggery in the first place... just as there are no genes for wearing powdered wigs, stamp-collecting, whittling, watching soap-operas, hitchhiking, FR membership, and countless other such things.
