Um, this is not a fact, but a hypothesis regarding the genetic predisposition for violent behaviour or else biology books need to catch up with these recent findings. I'll have to look that one up to make double sure, but I have yet to read of any scientific evidence for this. It reads more like something taught in psych 101...

You obviously haven't been doing and reading genetics in the past couple of years have you ?

If you have, then you should have read some genetics books which actually state the fact XYY chromosomed men ARE psychopaths.



Also other useless information which you might know of is that 2 odd numbers added together always give an even.

This is just one study done on the subject. I can bring you more references if you'd like, but it's going to take some time since most databases offer only abstracts and to get the real article takes time to sift over a lot of junk. It is fun, but you are stating something that is NOT fact.

Criminality and antisocial behaviour in unselected men with sex chromosome abnormalities.

Gotz MJ, Johnstone EC, Ratcliffe SG.

Department of Psychiatry, Royal Edinburgh Hospital.

BACKGROUND: Previous studies on male patients with sex chromosome abnormalities (SCA), namely XYY and XXY, suggest that such patients commit criminal acts more frequently than expected. Most of these studies are affected by ascertainment bias. METHODS: Using a population-based sample of men with SCA, identified by screening 34380 infants at birth between 1967 and 1979, comparison between 16 XYY men, 13 XXY men and 45 controls were made in terms of frequency of antisocial personality disorder (APD) using the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia lifetime version. Rates of criminal convictions were examined in 17 XYY men, 17 XXY men and 60 controls. RESULTS: XYY males showed a significantly higher frequency of antisocial behaviour in adolescence and adulthood and of criminal convictions than the controls, but multiple regression analysis showed this to be mediated mainly through lowered intelligence. Property offences constituted the majority of offences in all groups. The XXY men did not show an increased rate of criminal convictions. It is possible that this apparently negative result relates to the relatively small numbers of cases and hence low power of this study. CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study carry the advantage of not being affected by ascertainment bias and the disadvantage of having low power. It provides evidence for a slightly increased liability to antisocial behaviour in XYY men.


That last sentence might prove a point, but this is a study that was done in 1999 (I think), so it's still for the jury to deicide whether this is fact. As of now, it is still under the experiment and data phase. Perhaps you could enlighten us with a recent scientific article stating otherwise. I'm willing to admit fault where it lies...
