The genes for behaviors like altruism and defense of a group are being mapped as part of a general human genome.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While some genetic factors may influence behaviors like altruism and group defense, behaviors are complex traits influenced by a combination of genetics, environment, and individual experiences. There is no simple "gene" for such behaviors, and mapping them directly to the human genome oversimplifies the nature of genetic influence on behavior.
