If after the following steps:

  1. Get 2 Psychopaths to make a baby (let's call this subject A).
  2. Take subject A at birth and nurture it in an environment previously proven to not create psychopaths.
  3. Test subject A after a threshold age.

Get statistical data.

If result:

  1. subject A is psychopath with 99% + confidence, then psychopaths are a race.
  2. subject A is psychopath with < 99% confidence, then psychopaths are NOT a race.

Just to be clear, I will not endorse this study.

It's already been shown that psychopaths can live relatively normal lives when given proper treatment. There's even a story of one such brain researcher (James Fallon) finding out his own brain structures in an MRI result showed a tendency to psychopathy, even though he was a fairly average man who was conducting such a study.

In that case, wouldn't we want to say, instead, that the researcher's environment was such that he developed mild tendencies towards psychopathy, but not enough to be socially relevant.
I would go so far to say that the average person has a tendency to psychopathy, considering the social state of our civilisation.
