The genetics of politics

Here's an interesting article from Scientific American about the genetics of politics.

The article discusses a study headed by University of California, San Diego political scientist James Fowler suggesting that genetics can strongly influence whether or not a person will vote.

The authors are careful to explain that the research findings DO NOT suggest that genetics can determine whom people will vote for, only whether or not they are likely to vote. They further emphasize that environment also plays a significant role in voting.
