Humanity possesses a variation in morality or worldview, created by evolution to allow man to adapt to different ecosystems. In the primitive world, finding consensus between those views was the method of resolving disputes. Once cities emerged, local and central governments assumed power over moral decision-making and made rules for an entire society. Later, the Enlightenment reopened individual morality as expressed by political parties, but today, those political parties represent tribes with radically different ideologies. Tribalism threatens to destroy the American political system because there is no consensus regarding the political morality of the United States. Tribalism impedes the federal government's operation because the political parties fight rather than negotiate. Ultimately, the American political system will fall if its people cannot overcome their tribal obsession.

The Conservative Gene describes the influence of genetics on the moral behavior of those on the right of the political spectrum. Conservatives possess a unique morality different from liberals and progressives, who seek to discard tradition and make rapid changes to society. Conservatives view rapid change as dangerous because it causes cultural disruption and involves the pursuit of ideas that are impractical. Conservatives value tradition and advocate a careful adoption of change based on maintaining the institutions that protect society against chaos. These institutions include family, social community, religious community, and respect for country.

The Progressive Gene fuses the idea of a universal, genetically determined personal and social morality with the expression of that morality in the individual's political philosophy. Although this connection extends to and encompasses society as a whole, the book focuses on the far left of the political spectrum, where the Progressives reside.
