The Left has traditionally assumed that human nature is so malleable, so perfectible, that it can be shaped in almost any direction. By contrast, a Darwinian science of human nature supports traditionalist conservatives and classical liberals in their realist view of human imperfectibility, and in their commitment to ordered liberty as rooted in natural desires, cultural traditions, and prudential judgments.

"Biopolitical Science"--An APSA/ASPLA Paper
My APSA/ASPLA conference paper--"Biopolitical Science: Darwin, Lincoln, and the Deep History of Politics"--can be found here by searching under my name.
I warn you, however, that the paper is about 80 pages long.
