Whether you vote depends on your genes

"53% of the variation in turnout can be accounted for by genetic effects".

"Although we are not the first to suggest a link between genes and political
participation," note the authors, "this study is the first attempt to test
the idea empirically." They do so by conducting three tests of the claim
that part of the variation in political participation can be attributed to
genetic factors. The results suggest that individual genetic differences
make up a large and significant portion of the variation in political
participation, even after taking socialization and other environmental
factors into account. They also suggest that, contrary to decades of
conventional wisdom, family upbringing may have little or no effect on
children's future participatory behavior."
