i'm more amazed someone could link an genetix with economic system... was 
there a genetic basis to the english upper classes, or was that an offshoot 
of feudalism, and/or maybe had something to do with norman invaders...?
i don't see medieval upper classes going out and becoming carpenters or 
shoe-makers, even if they were the 2nd or 3rd sons... and medieval & 
elizabethan elites seem to have been pretty good at killing each other off, 
even if they didn't have such high rates of infant mortality...
it just really doesn't make any sense...
