Sad news: baby elephant has died.

Quinn,
Sorry I wasn't clear, I wasn't trying to suggest that you subscribed to Lombroso, you just said that you had discussed the issue in one of your classes and found there was was no statistical signifigance - just thought it might have been something like that you were referring to.
It was "legal deviant behavior" that I was referring to. And I think that traits that influence criminal acts (but not necessarily criminal acts themselves) are extremely adaptive. Someone who breaks the law is baisically putting their own interests ahead of the interests of another person (or society). Whether it is murder or fraud or doing 70 km/h in a 50 zone. A person who is similarly motivated is probably more likely to succeed, whether or not success is measured as a big business deal, a bank robbery, or getting to your destination 3mins quicker than the guy who drove the speed limit.
You raised a good point that genes are value-neutral. I have never thought about that before.
