How does this explain people who shift from one political view to another? I was raised in the Communist world-view. So was David Horowitz who edited the Radical Ramparts magazine in the late 1960's.

The Neocons who started and ran Commentary magazine were mostly former Trotskyists.

Hillary Clinton was a Goldwater supporter who shifted to the views of radical Sol Alinsky.

But the authors are claiming that political views are based on biological factors, and these don't change.

Bob,

Actually, there seems to be a lot of work being done on inherited traits. it falls into the same area as the following article.

ottawacitizen.com/technology/science/can-we-inherit-fear-and-other-mind-bending-questions-being-raised-by-science

Another article I read (which I can't find the link for unfortunately) suggested that the changes last 5 generations. So maybe those who break the mold are at the tail end of the chain.
