In his book "Next," Michael Crichton discusses a particular gene that Dr. Narcejac-Boileau identifies as linked to social dominance and control over others. The research claims this gene has been found in various influential figures, including sports leaders, CEOs, and political leaders. The implications suggest that this genetic factor may play a role in maintaining power and authority.

Dr. Narcejac-Boileau posits that this gene is present in all dictators throughout history, indicating a biological basis for certain behavioral traits associated with leadership and dominance. Such a finding raises questions about genetics and its influence on political and social dynamics, proposing that our biology may significantly shape leadership styles and governance methods.
