Face Recognition Gene

Facial recognition is of vital importance in many criminal cases.  So much of what lawyers rely on are eye-witness accounts and many of those accounts include facial recognition.  Though there many factors in a person recognizing a face like lighting, partial vision and whether or not  a person was planing one recognizing a face, a new factor has been found in genetics.  This weeks 60-Second Psych podcast introduces and somewhat explains that facial recognition may be genetic.  I thought this was very interesting and thought provoking.  And though they cite that this finding might give light to dyslexia or William's syndrome, I think this may eventually help the psychology & law community.
