WHAT IS THE ADVENTURE GENE?

If we have an overwhelming desire to explore, perhaps the reason lies in our DNA. There is a genetic variant, known as DRD4-7R, carried by roughly one in four of all humans.


It's more commonly known as the Adventure Gene. It makes people more curious, less restricted by boundaries. They will be more likely to take risks and may get a sudden urge to explore.
