There is a kind of gene that makes some people crave adventure

People who own this gene often travel a lot; they particularly like challenging places, places far beyond safe areas and even recommended areas with many risks and dangers.

In addition, the group can also thrive when working in a highly volatile environment and will be stifled if they have to do duplicate, daily tasks. In some cases, some people in the upper group also have a hobby of dancing, trying stimulant drugs and doing things that are not 'safe'.

After years of research, scientists have finally found the reason for these actions. Called DRD4-7R , this is a special gene variant that makes people like to move ; Scientists estimate that about 20% of the world's population possesses the gene.

Richard Paul Ebstein - Professor of Psychology at National University of Singapore, believes that there is definitely a relationship between DRD4-7R and the passion of discovery in some people.

"We have evidence that not only do we like to find new things and there is a tendency for impulse that DRD4-7R owners are also vulnerable to financial problems , " Ebstein said. know.

Several other studies have also confirmed the link of the allele (genetic variant) to human migration characteristics. In 1999, a University of California study found that the 7R gene variant appears to be more common in migrant communities than in settlers.

Another study goes even further when people who have a 7R allele are more suited to life than in one place. Similar studies also show that there are fewer people who possess this gene in settled cultures than nomadic cultures.

Professor Ebstein said: "Not all people who own DRD4-7R love transitional life, genes only contribute a very small part of a person's complete personality."

In the same view, communication scientist Dr. Kat Arney argues: 'Gene is like a component of a recipe, it contributes but is not the only determinant in Human character system. Even a simple element like eye color is not caused by just one gene. '

Both experts agreed that the environmental factor will also significantly affect how genes work. If you own an 'adventurous' gene but live in a very harsh environment, you may be annoyed but still get used to it.
