Is Violence In Your Genes?
Scientists have
discovered a gene
in our body
nicknamed the
warrior gene. Is it
harmful?
This gene is
responsible
for some of
our actions
and feelings
So, if the warrior
gene doesn't
cause
aggressiveness,
what does?
What is the Warrior
Gene?
The warrior gene is one
version of a very
important gene called
MAO-A
Everyone carries MAO-A
but only a third of mans
is less active
It can tell the brain to
control chemicals and
nerotransmitters that
let brain cells
communicate to each
other
Does the Gene Affect Our
Actions or Feelings?
The gene is responsible to regulate
nerotransmitters
This gene is responsible for our traits and
behavior or certain actions
The gene affects your feelings and thoughts
What Causes Our
Aggressiveness?
People who have the warrior
gene aren't more aggressive
because of the gene
A bad childhood or abusive
childhood can affect their brain to
make them aggressive
One man had the warrior gene
but was not aggressive because
he had a loving childhood
You have learned about.....
The MAO-A gene
The warrior gene
If the warrior gene does or doesn't cause
aggressiveness
What causes aggressiveness
What the gene can affect
