Research reveals that the desire to travel is inherited. Scientists say that a gene called DRD4 triggers the urge 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.
Dopamine triggers the desire to explore
Scientists believe that the desire to travel today is similar to how early humans migrated to survive.
According to experts, the excitement caused by high dopamine is also among the factors that trigger the desire to explore.
