[sizfnvpb] Genetically docile or iconoclastic

Is the human tendency to learn then follow any given rules of society, often without question, an evolutionary trait, not wholly learned?  Some children seem easier to "make behave" than others.

If so, what genes control it?  (We would not expect to see those genes in yeast or mice.)  What alleles are there, and what behavior do different alleles induce?

Are social forces breeding more or less docile individuals?  The irony, or tremendous complication to analysis, is that a great many social rules exist ultimately to control who may have sex with whom.
