Oxytocin and vasotocin receptor variation sheds light into the evolution of human prosociality

2018-11-04

Abstract excerpt

Modern human lifestyle strongly depends on complex social traits like empathy, tolerance and cooperation. These diverse facets of social cognition have been associated with variation in the oxytocin receptor ( OTR ) and its sister genes, the vasotocin/vasopressin receptors ( VTR1A / AVPR1A and AVPR1B/VTR1B ). Here, we compared the full genomic sequences of these receptors between modern humans, archaic humans,...
