Uncovering the gene for the desire to travel

It is thought that there may be a link between the migration of early humans for food and shelter and the desire to travel in today’s society.

Rest, getting to know different cultures, tasting different flavors. Each of these are among the reasons that make traveling attractive.

But could there be other reasons for the desire to travel?

According to a study conducted at Indiana University, the tendency to travel is genetic. The gene DRD4 triggers the idea of travel in humans.
