Apparently so. I watch Joe Rogans interview with Robert Sapolsky which I might add was fascinating and he spoke about this at length and how people with toxo are more likely to take risks and or live dangerously. [this video]

Listen to this interview with Robert Sapolsky. Somewhat of a superstar in this field: [this video] (Ignore the person interviewing him)

I've seen him on JRE ( [this video] ). I liked his observations on the baboon troupe and how changing group makeup led to a change of dynamics and the establishment of a more cooperative equilibrium.
