The response to fear is an instinct necessary for human survival. Since the amygdala in conservatives is bigger than in others that means they have a better chance at survival than those whose amygdala is smaller than a conservative's is. Thanks for brightening my day by telling me that conservatives have a better chance at survival than liberals do.
No, an oversized hormonal gland is not the key to survival and, in some cases, it may trigger behavior which threatens not only survival of the individual, but maybe even the species. How large do you suppose the amygdala on the average lemming might be? What about cassowaries or emus?
Sorry, but when it comes to the higher species, we should be measuring their cerebral cortex, not the gland that pumps cortisol.
