   Abstract = {There is a trend among behavioral scientists to view ever
             more complex “attitudes” and/or “systems of belief”
             as in some sense genetically determined (or
             “heritable”). Consistent with this trend is the recent
             article of Alford, Funk, and Hibbing titled “Are Political
             Orientations Genetically Transmitted?,” (American
             Political Science Review 99, 2 (May): 153-167) in which the
             authors claim to have demonstrated that when it comes to the
             transmission of political ideologies, genes count for more
             than environment. Their article has received an enormous
             amount of attention among political scientists and in the
             popular press. I critically evaluate the research technique
             on the basis of which the authors’ support their claims
             and argue that it suffers from significant methodological
             flaws. Such flaws notwithstanding, I demonstrate that the
             authors’ data do not clearly support their conclusions. I
             then question the cogency, from a historical and theoretical
             perspective, of proposing the existence of “liberal” and
             “conservative” “phenotypes” and “genotypes.” My
             argument has implications beyond the findings of Alford,
             Funk, and Hibbing, and applies to all studies that claim to
             have demonstrated the heritability of complex and
             politically relevant attitudes.},
