Marriage woes? Maybe it's in his genes

Unread postby Ache » Wed 03 Sep 2008, 00:12:20

A hormone in the brain appears to increase the risk of marital dysfunction, the first time genes and monogamy have been tied.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')ancole - do you understand what scientific research is? If you read the article (or even just the sub-headline!) you would understand … read more that the scientists only claimed that the presence of this gene increased the likelihood of a divorce and marital discord. Most scientific articles only show correlations between different variables. In no way does this article suggest that personal responsibility is irrelevant.

Men are more likely to be devoted and loyal husbands when they lack a particular variant of a gene that influences brain activity, researchers announced this week -- the first time science has shown a direct link between a man's genes and his aptitude for monogamy.
