Interesting never the less and this "professor happens to be a distant relative of at least seven alleged murderers. ", incredible how they can trace all his linage. So correct me if I'm wrong but technically that means he's a time bomb waiting to crack?

Time will tell.

But if anyone goes missing or dies an untimely death around him I'd make him suspect número uno.

This guy's full of crap.

To accept any of this nonsense is to be predisposed to the notion that murderous tendencies are genetic.

I reject that notion.

At least he's honest about it, and shares it to the world....

Seems to be Mr.Fallon is trying to boost booksales with his distant relatives, also, if you go back far enough, everybody is related to everybody in some form or shape.

Is it about being honest, or is it about injecting one's genetic makeup as an excuse for sorry behavior?

most people don't understand psychopathy, it may be be genetic but can also be triggered by early upbringing. Psychopathy is not linked to violence, however if a psychopath is also smart and violent they can make dangerous serial killers, if they are also smart but not violent then they make successful CEO's, judges etc. if they are also violent but not smart they will get themselves in jail pretty quick. Most Psychopaths will never be violent as violence is not part of psychopathy, they just simply don't feel the emotions others feel, and that can be beneficial in certain roles. psychopathy in itself isn't really a bad thing so much.

Humans have violence integrated into our genetic code. The early species were hunters and predators, and our history has been filled with war, violence and atrocities. I'd say there's enough violence in our history to suggest it's part of what we are at the base level, whether or not we choose to rise above that is a different matter.

I wouldn't say necessarily violence but survival of the fittest and sometimes that means acts of violence. Very few acts of violence are mindless they are an act of necessity or who ever commits it feels as if it is a necessity.
