It's good that today, esteemed researchers are always right, unlike the bad old days.
I don't dispute that some brain structures may be different for "psychopaths" than for "normals". I don't have the knowledge to say for certain yes or no. What I am saying is that the facts of differences which we see now are not proof of how the differences
originated. They could be partly inherited, and also due to in-utero influences, early childhood, and so on. I think I have enough experience of my own life, and similar feelings, to believe that some, much, most, all can come from those influences upon what may be a base structure that is different from "normal" in
some degree. But "normal" is a
range, not one point. The given inheritance is
not totally determinative.
That is my thinking, anyway.
