Unified Theory of Biology
Behavior and Human History

Last night the cumulative
effort of observing human behavior as a physician, especially the past 8 years
of work at Texas largest mental hospital, and the years of reading broadly hundreds
of non-fiction books describing the latest development in many fields finally
coalesced into a mental outline for a book that could make a difference to
humanity in these confusing and chaotic times.
I envision something like Jarod Diamond's Guns Germs and Steel, however
I will go further. I will not only
present a different biological basis of history, but given the breakthroughs in
neuorophysiology, genetics and ecology and the very recent discovery of the
violent nature of our planet's "normal" weather, I will offer an
outline for a path that will lead to some answers.
What I've been seeking over
the past decades came together in a way that explains why all our human
attempts at governance have failed.
There IS EVIL in the world; and this EVIL has sabotaged all of our best
efforts. The EVIL exists in the form of
the SOCIOPATH. These humans have inherited a genetic remnant from our days as
animals. They cannot tell right from
from wrong. Their world is themselves
and objects that they manipulate in order to meet their base animals needs for
food, water, sex, power, control, self preservation, and delight in dishing out
pain and suffering. Some of these
desires are even reptilian in nature, like lust and eating other creatures
alive. We find the language used in the
past to describe this as something akin to Black Magic, with phrases like
"he's possessed by the Devil".
However quaint, this language was descriptive and correct, as far as our
knowledge of the biology of behavior went at the time. The sociopath sabotages our most modern
attempts at governance. Pure
Conservatism, no government, results in the sociopaths taking control of vast
amounts of wealth and power because they see nothing wrong with lying,
cheating, killing ---even genocide. Too much government and they rise in the
system and within the system take more than their share, again by
cheating. Communism proved this as the
sociopathic leadership who lived like kings showed the same disdain for the
people they ruled as their capitalistic counterparts. So either ethical or Conservatism or
Liberalism would probably work except for two factors: the sociopaths sabotage
both, and the newly discovered reality of ecology---the natural limits of the
planetary system to support our excessive consumption that the planet cannot
sustain. We can't change the ecological
limits of the planet, but we can control our population growth and the way we
utilize the earth's resources. We can
also learn to recognize the sociopaths and isolate them. The next step is to eliminate their defective
genes from the gene pool. This will be
very controversial since “genetic engineering” is an emotional issue for many,
and I will leave it to others to decide how to carry out this obviously
desirable step.
The climactic changes are the
biggest threat to the survival of our speciess, and to maximize our chances we
must have governments that are altruistic, flexible, and highly cooperative to
aid each other and deal with the necessary mass migrations the climactic
changes will dictate (as in the Sudan).
We cannot afford the profound capacity for sociopathic leadership to
sabotage those efforts. It is estimated
that this source of EVIL (1% of the population,) causes 99% of the social
misery. They CANNOT be taught morality
or ethics. They are biological
incapable; just you or I are incapable of running the 100 meters in 9 seconds. So what was the survival advantage of this
destructive bit of genetic code as described so insightfully by Wallace and
Darwin 150 years ago? None. But, their hyper sexuality and joy in
brutally rapping women and/or assembling large cadres of young women, which
they impregnated by the hundreds or thousands assured the survival of their
defective genes. Most of their offspring didn't manifest the antisocial traits
but they carried the genes as a recessive trait. Those that did express the antisocial traits
were killed for their misdeeds or imprisoned and died there, but not before
they passed on the traits by impregnating many women. And a critical few were
smart enough to avoid punishment, and rise to positions of power in every
powerful institution in human history.
This is the first time I have
put this all together in a cohesive and thorough manner. I think it not only explains aspects of
history that have been previously mysterious or incomprehensible, but it also,
as a result, gives us a clear direction to proceed. This direction has been what has been so
painfully missing in every human endeavor one chooses to look. Chaos and confusion so overwhelming that we
become paralyzed and out of desperation isolate our selves or put ourselves to
sleep with heroin, from poppies or electronic media. This new understanding of
the biological basis of human behavior gives us a path of action that will make
our lives less stressful, less confusing, and less fearful. It gives us a much greater chance of
surviving as a species. It has the power
to give us hope.
