Brain evolution and liberal/conservative morality

Continuing this post, several neuroscientific studies make clear which parts of the brain are emphasized in liberals and conservatives. The amygdala (indicative of fight or flight fear) is a much older evolutionary brain structure, while the anterior cingulate cortex (higher thinking functions) much newer. Hence there is neuroscientific brain evidence for the evolution of morality per Kohlberg. Haidt admits that conservative morality is rooted in these more evolutionary earlier brain structures, and liberal morality in the newer structures.

The newer neocortex then coordinates and integrates the older brain functions so that the latter do not dominate and send us backward in evolution. It's not that liberals don't have the conservative moral traits like Haidt claims; it's that those earlier evolutionary traits are now modified under neocortex control. Yes, there is a value judgment involved here, but it's supported by evolutionary science, not ideology.
