Will scientists be able to someday match a gene to all human behaviors? (i.e. bonding between mates, why some cry and others don't, etc.)


I read an article today on Msnbc.com about how scientists may have identified a gene that is responsible for how strongly a human male "may" bond with their partner. I suspect that our behavior is determined by our genetic make up, neurotransmitters, etc., but I wonder if scientists will be able to someday pair a gene with all of our behaviors.

i'm never surprised that there is always something we didn't know in nature or science, it is a neverending learning process. Makes you realize how significant everything is.

It will be interesting to see what they come up with.

They might come up with a lot of strong predispositions, but I think genes and environment both exert strong influences on how a human behaves.
