Associations between dopamine D4 receptor gene variation with both infidelity and sexual promiscuity.

PloS one - 30 Nov 2010

Garcia Justin R, MacKillop James, Aller Edward L, Merriwether Ann M, Wilson David Sloan, Lum J Koji

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Human sexual behavior is highly variable both within and between populations. While sex-related characteristics and sexual behavior are central to evolutionary theory (sexual selection), little is known about the genetic bases of individual variation in sexual behavior. The variable n...
