Science Identifies “Violence Genes”

By Daniel Miessler on July 20th, 2008: Tagged as Culture | Science | Society

A new study has found that violent behavior is correlated to the presence of three genes. Here’s a basic overview by CNN’s Dr. Gupta. If anyone has a link to the study, please share.

I expect this research to get very interesting, very quickly.
