The book made them wonder whether political science had been wearing blinders for the past half-century. "That was the inspiration for both of us to look at our discipline and say: To what degree are we guilty of implicitly assuming that for politics, the human brain is a blank slate?" says Alford. They wondered whether ideology in fact has roots in biology, whether people's genes could predict how they might vote.

The two didn't realize it at the time, but they would soon reinvent themselves and help found the new field of genopolitics. To do that, they had to learn genetics and brain anatomy, forge ties with neuroscientists and molecular biologists, and do battle against skeptical colleagues.
