What I'm saying is that there is no "evil" gene but acts of aggression can be accounted for biologically. The ability to be aggressive is biologically important, after all, and is built into all of us.

Here's a good peer-reviewed paper on the general subject... Wiley InterScience :: Session Cookies

(it might need subscription so, if you can't access it, here's the abstract on pubmed)

The importance of stress and genetic variation in ...[Bioessays. 2007] - PubMed Result

thanks! I cant the first but i can the second. Ooooh, where are you doing it? Do you happen to know a Donald Reid or Stuart Fyffe? i think its sturat anyways....h just finished his PhD the other year, duno if he's still at Dundee though.
I agree that aggressiveness is a survival trait in all animals (including man) but wantom acts of torture and sadism?

Haha, i wont get into an argument with you, in biological matters i am definetly outclassed. But i hope my description of evil was alright?
