Political scientist John Hibbing says political beliefs are part of our DNA from an evolutionary point of view. Professor Edward Caudill says a large portion of the American public doesn’t even believe in evolution. And Bill Press interviews Katie McGinty.
How important is our DNA in determining our politics? A lot, says professor John Hibbing. It even determines who we marry.
