Political Orientations Are Correlated with Brain Structure in Young Adults
Substantial differences exist in the cognitive styles of liberals and conservatives on psychological measures [1]. Variability in political attitudes reflects genetic influences and their interaction with environmental factors [2, 3]. Recent work has shown a correlation between liberalism and conflict-related activity measured by event-related potentials originating in the anterior cingulate cortex [4]. Here we show that this functional correlate of political attitudes has a counterpart in brain structure. In a large sample of young adults, we related self-reported political attitudes to gray matter volume using structural MRI. We found that greater liberalism was associated with increased gray matter volume in the anterior cingulate cortex, whereas greater conservatism was associated with increased volume of the right amygdala. These results were replicated in an independent sample of additional participants. Our findings extend previous observations that political attitudes reflect differences in self-regulatory conflict monitoring [4] and recognition of emotional faces [5] by showing that such attitudes are reflected in human brain structure. Although our data do not determine whether these regions play a causal role in the formation of political attitudes, they converge with previous work [4, 6] to suggest a possible link between brain structure and psychological mechanisms that mediate political attitudes.

不过可能是敏感话题，后来我没有读到更多类似文章。看看我能不能有空把文章翻出来。
可是那时候中国的政治文化中心在中原。
很认同莫里斯者个论点，科学是西方发展的果，而非因。从大航海到工业革命之前被西方学者称为漫长的十六世纪，这是西方zhu?jian
看了你的翻译和解释，完全不能同意莫里斯的见解。这书不值得读。
只相信自己喜欢相信的东西，把自己不喜欢的严谨学术叫“民科”，这也让我开了眼了。
我说过，对于Morris书中的一些结论和观点，我并不认为是绝对正确的。但他所罗列的事实，数据，证据都是经过认真严谨的考证，引自几百部考古学，历史学，社会学和科学的专著和文献。他在书后专门列出了这些著作文献的名录。任何人都可以来反驳他的观点或所列事实，但要有主流学界认可的证据，不是张嘴就来的胡说八道。
就这么简单。
历史上，“东方”对于西欧来说指的意大利以东，也就是希腊，东欧和中东。这么说倒是对的。
历史上，罗马人，阿拉伯人来往于中国和欧洲。罗马人在印度还建有trading post。中国就没有商人出海的记录，也没听说造船发展里有中国发明的东西

夏商周和世界看着似乎差不太多，都没什么重大发明…但是有了《汉谟拉比法典》，文明与法律的起源。
当中国处于战国什么群雄时，希腊已经开始选举了。
北宋在闹来闹去时，牛津大学成立了，几年后剑桥也有了。
成吉思汗骑马到处得瑟时，英国签署了大宪章，民主了。
1315年，元朝刚恢复科举，意大利医生完成了解剖学…十年后欧洲开始文艺复兴，此刻中国主要两件事：怎么种地如何考官。
明代闭关锁国时，意大利诞生了专利法和著作权保护法……哥伦布麦哲伦伽利略一通输出……荷兰人发明了股票，成立了世界上第一家股票交易所。
哈佛大学诞生在明代。
康乾什么盛世时，人家发明了电、输血、温度计……美国签了独立宣言，乾隆还在爱民如子这那的写了四万首诗，没一句称得上诗。
清朝进入灭亡的垃圾时间时，中国有了北大的前身：京师大学堂。
这时距离牛津大学的成立已经过去一千年了。
一千年了……
中国历史截至此刻，实际上没什么值得讲的，除了一些诗人。
光绪时欧美的发明创造基本上很快中国也用上了，这时候和世界历史接上了。
做假追朔到中共的历史，它的历史都是假的。百年前，苏共提供武器，资金，人力建立黄埔军校，发动北伐。最终二战后，扶植中共上台。国民党和中共都是苏共提携和帮助的，蒋介石先翻脸，斯大林死后毛也翻脸。国共内战是苏共指挥策划的。200斤和普金言归于好，合作无上限，普京入侵乌克兰已穷途末路，200斤也将步其后尘。

earth shattering的颠覆性的原创，也是不争的事实。
我质疑他的东方西方坐标，你可能没有看到，但他的定义确实很不合理。现代人类一并产生，但分批经由北非（地中海岸）向外迁移。。。
