Pundits Pub #6: Left v. Right: It's the Biology, Stupid! - a podcast by Pundits Pub with Stephen Love

Why do many conservatives refuse to admit that climate change is real and caused by human activity?  Why do many liberals refuse to admit that the world is a dangerous place?  Why does it seem that America is divided more than ever?

We are joined by Professor John R. Hibbing of the University of Nebraska, co-author of Predisposed: Liberals, Conservatives and the Biology of Political Differences.

Professor Hibbing contends that left and right orientations are not grounded in a person's upbringing or culture, but that whether a person is liberal or conservative grows from a set of psychological, cognitive, physiological and genetic interactions which produce a spectrum of predispositions.
