Is there a gene or something that is responsible for how cruel or mean a person is.?
Answer:
"A story featured on Good Morning America in April 2002 stated that Dr. Redford Williams of Duke University had found evidence that anger might be a hereditary trait. The report claimed that “a tiny variation of a gene that we all carry will predict those more prone to anger." The report further stated that those who have the genetic variation are more likely to have blood pressures that can soar to dangerous levels and are at a greater health risk. Although this report did acknowledge that research in this area is still early, it is claimed that those who are more prone to anger can be identified based upon this particular genetic characteristic."
So more then likely yes but I'm sure it's not caused 100% by genes. You'd also have to factor in variables such as a persons life growing up or various other chemical imbalances that might occur throughout a persons life.
Well... The scientists had discovered the gene that is responsible for aggressive behavior... So, that is the answer, I suppose.
Yes, actually it's on chromosomes 17
Genes are not a blueprint that determines outcome. Genes alone are neither sufficient, nor necessary, in causing the antisocial behavior.
Well i don't know about a gene but some people are just cruel so that can get a kick out of hurting someones feelings.
