maoa gene, it's mainly present in blacks

Can you link the sources you got this from, I'm interested in this topic and didn't know most of this shit, my dad actually was actually diagnosed with ASPD

so bascially stay away from blacks that what you sayin

I'm pretty sure my dad's the same too tbh

Exploring the association between the 2-repeat allele of the MAOA gene promoter polymorphism and psychopathic personality traits, arrests, incarceration, and lifetime antisocial behavior

A line of research has revealed that a polymorphism in the promoter region of the MAOA gene is related to antisocial phenotypes. Most of these studies examine the effects of low MAOA activity alleles (2-repeat and 3-repeat alleles) against the effects of high MAOA activity alleles (3.5-repeat, 4-repeat, and sometimes 5-repeat alleles), with research indicating that the low MAOA activity alleles confer an increased risk to antisocial phenotypes. The current study examined whether the 2-repeat allele, which has been shown to be functionally different from the 3-repeat allele, was associated with a range of antisocial phenotypes in a sample of males drawn from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. Analyses revealed that African-American males who carried the 2-repeat allele were, in comparison with other African-American male genotypes, significantly more likely to be arrested and incarcerated. Additional analyses revealed that African-American male carriers of the 2-repeat allele scored significantly higher on an antisocial phenotype index and on measures assessing involvement in violent behaviors over the life course. There was not any association between the 2-repeat allele and a continuously measured psychopathic personality traits scale. The effects of the 2-repeat allele could not be examined in Caucasian males because only 0.1% carried it.

i wonder if there is a difference between afro americans and lets say people in ghana regarding that shit. i could imagine dark triad slaves had a higher survival rate back in the slaves days?

Aggression-related Gene Weakens Brain's Impulse Control Circuits

A version of a gene previously linked to impulsive violence appears to weaken brain circuits that regulate impulses, emotional memory and thinking in humans. Brain scans revealed that people with this version -- especially males -- tended to have relatively smaller emotion-related brain...

I believe it has to do with africans carrying more erectus dna unironically, comapred to europeans who carry neanderthal dna

They're simply adapted to the african continent, where a high IQ isn't necessary and aggressiveness is rewarded.

I've actually seen it's more common among Maori and it's more commonly known as the warrior gene and it's human specific.
