Apparently so. I watch Joe Rogans interview with Robert Sapolsky which I might add was fascinating and he spoke about this at length and how people with toxo are more likely to take risks and or live dangerously. [VIDEO]

I've seen him on JRE ( [VIDEO] ). I liked his observations on the baboon troupe and how changing group makeup led to a change of dynamics and the establishment of a more cooperative equilibrium.
