Title: Ruthlessness gene discovered
Post by: teartracks on September 01, 2008, 08:27:43 PM

Hi,

A God gene?  And now, apparently there is a ruthlessness gene as well.   

The researchers don’t know the mechanism by which the gene influences behaviour. It may mean that for some, the old adage that “it is better to give than to receive” simply isn’t true, says team leader Richard Ebstein. The reward centres in those brains may derive less pleasure from altruistic acts, he suggests, perhaps causing them to behave more selfishly.
