[ExI] Did Evolution produce a gene for good soldiers?

[Will Steinberg]

Yes but there is thousands fold more opportunity for genes on normal
chromosomes which are only activated by proteins or hormones which are
produced as a result of sex chromosomes.  So it is entirely possible that
these behaviors are sex differentiated even if the gene isn't on the y
chromosome.
