> But considering the fact that political positions appear to correlate with brain structures The do now, but didn't historically. So (presuming the correlation is true) are any of the historical factors relevant to changing things today? It seems like historically there were more dimensions to consider such as class, regional interests, religion and then within those combination of factors you could have a more-liberal or conservative view. > There's nothing in evolutionary theory that says the impediments can't be social and behavioural instead of anatomical. There is some data to support this. Charles Murray's Coming Apart cited a big trend of separation amongst the urban/liberal/educated and rural/conservative/religious. It really isn't enough to drive evolution, it certainly has an impact on culture and politics. There is no "reversion to the mean" if the distribution is binomial.
