Scientists find that stingy people are caused by a lack of AVPR1a gene in the body

life, people occasionally come across some unsuspecting friends, they often do not know when the payment of the billA new scientific study in Israel may find the reason for these "snobs" who are born without the "generous gene"Scientists at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel have found that some people may be born with a "generous gene" called AVPR1a, which means they tend to be more generous than the general populationStatistics show that people with "generous genes" are 50 per cent more likely to donate money than those who do notThe key is the AVPR1a gene
In the study, scientists designed a game called "Dictator" that invited 203 netizens to participateScientists give participants 6 pounds each, and they can decide to keep all of the money, donate it all, or donate some to other participantsThe results showed that those with the AVPR1a gene were 50 percent more likely to donate money than othersDr Ariel Nave, who led the study, said: "This is the first scientific evidence to prove a link between genes and human altrucity"It's an exciting discovery, " saidNaveIt is often said that a person's generosity or insation is a natural decisionNow, we find that generosity is genetically determinedBut we don't know exactly how many people have this 'generous gene' and why they have it"
in the past, many people thought that a person's generosity was determined by external factors, such as how much wealth he had and his cultural background But Naver's team believes the AVPR1a gene is key because it allows a hormone called arginine anti-diuretic hormone to work on human brain cells They also found that if an important part of the AVPR1a gene was active, the more active the gene became, and the more generous the person became The study has been published in the academic journal Gene, Brain and Behavior In line with the laws of evolution
Dr George Feldman, a lecturer in psychology at the University of Buckinghamshire in the UK, says genes that promote human altruism and socialinteraction are in line with human evolutionary laws Those who are helpful tend to be more successful in society, because those who do good things will be rewarded "People with 'generous genes' tend to work better with others in a team, " feldman said They are more willing to spend time helping colleagues As a result, they tend to be more successful in society For humanbeing, social success is essential Fieldman says the "generous gene" dates back to the hunting days of primitive humans They found that collective hunting was more rewarding, allowing the "generous gene" to evolve "If you can work well with people, you're probably a generous person, " he said "
