First off, if you knew anything about genetics you would know its nearly impossible for man to EVER completely map genes. The numbers are far too overwhelming. The fact that we have isolated a few genes relative to the total is amazing. So don't look for it to be discovered and mapped anytime soon. It has been strongly suggested that the abilities necessary to become a successful leader are, indeed, connected to a specific gene or genes. Why is that so hard for you to wrap your mind around? So many mental and emotional traits are already found to be genetically linked. Secondly, the fact is many scientific theories are regarded as fact based on nothing more than overwhelming evidence to SUGGEST that they are true. The early works are quoted to reveal that this was considered true for centuries. There is no legitimate body of work to suggest otherwise. The first"link" you refer to is just a quote from a person like you or me suggesting their view. Below it are the real meat and potatoes. You keep going back to the term winner and loser, which are indeed nebulous terms. What we are really talking about is the capacity to become a winner based on traits that one is born with. All men are not created equal. Sorry. And BTW, schooled at SU. 13 years with the Physics, Bio-Physics, Chemistry, and Engineering Dept. until I created my own business. Published in regards to ultra low temperature research in the field of low temperature physics, 1996. I've been involved to various degrees in research in multiple fields including psychology and genetics. I am not a professor, just a curious guy with a knack or two.
