      If after the following steps:

      1. Get 2 Psychopaths to make a baby (let’s call this subject A).
      2. Take subject A at birth and nurture it in an environment previously proven to not create psychopaths.
      3. Test subject A after a threshold age.

      Get statistical data.

      If result:

      1. subject A is psychopath with 99% + confidence, then psychopaths are a race.
      2. subject A is psychopath with < 99% confidence, then psychopaths are NOT a race.

      Just to be clear, I will not endorse this study.

        It’s already been shown that psychopaths can live relatively normal lives when given proper treatment. There’s even a story of one such brain researcher (James Fallon) finding out his own brain structures in an MRI result showed a tendency to psychopathy, even though he was a fairly average man who was conducting such a study.
