Interesting article in the January 2013 issue of National Geographic magazine. It seems that this variant of a gene called DRD4 aids in controlling dopamine is connected to our drive to seek new horizons. It is also associated with ADHD. It has been tied to human migration and perhaps 20% of us have it. I know I do (the ADD part, too) as I have always been a wanderer except that I remain in my home town just 'cause it is a beautiful part of the world. I will bet that most of you have it also, an especially safe bets from your reading lists and TRs. What do you think? Why do you travel on backroads, off the track trails, etc.? I know I am like the song from my childhood: "The bear went over the mountain to see what he could see."
