Original sin.
Sociopaths are made, not born.
These clowns that don’t believe in souls, think they have to find a gene to explain various behaviors.
i’d post a picture of my old boss, but i can’t find one. :)
Frightening thought...
God said … for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Man says … all sin can be attributed a gene somewhere. Quandary? Not for the believer.
Uh oh......
Don’t anyone tell my sainted wife...
She has suspected this since BEFORE we were married -— 46 years ago.
Poor Hitler, Pol Pot, etc. ....they just couldn’t help themselves.
The same gene makes one nearly immune to dying in bed.
No reason “souls” cannot work in conjunction with genes. After all, at a minimum we all have several dimensions. Right off hand that would be body, mind, soul, heart and spirit. Some Orthodox go up to 11 full dimensions.
> Sociopaths are made, not born.
Does that mean that you would want your daughter to marry Ted Bundy’s son?
If sociopathy can be inherited in dogs, why not in humans?
Sociopaths choose to be sociopaths, no matter whether they have a genetic predisposition to be one or not.
Our nature is what we are put on earth to rise above.
TEST HER UNROYAL LOWNESS—HER HIDEOUS HEINOUS IMMEDIATELY!
Publish results far and wide.
LOL!
Assuming the research is accurate . . . I have 0.0% doubt she’d have the gene.
that and some heavy duty demonic possession . . .
Your examples and assertions are ridiculous.
If Ted raised his son, then Ted’s behavior would influence his son.
Dogs don’t have souls or free will.
I don't agree that these researchers are clowns. They are trying to understand behavior, a worthy pursuit. They do not attribute the described behavior solely to genetic influence, but rather say their data point to a genetic component.
I am not aware of any measurable psychological trait that has been shown to be free of a heritable component. The degree of influence from genetic endowment varies from one trait to another, but I have never seen a psychological trait for which the potential for such influence has been examined and proved to be zero.

That's the natural assumption. In fact, two genetically unrelated people raised in the same home turn out no more alike than two people picked randomly off the street.
