Unfaithful? I'm sorry darling but it's all in my genes

The tendency to be unfaithful, to divorce and to believe in a god are more likely to be inherited than major illnesses such as high blood pressure and cancer, according to a major study of twins published yesterday.

The discovery that we can inherit a propensity to believe and to betray has come from combining studies of identical and fraternal twins with the biggest survey of sexual and other behaviours of its kind in Britain, making it possible to unpick the contributions of genes and environment to important behaviours.
The work suggests that one day it may be possible to test if a person has a tendency to be unfaithful, which correlates with a tendency to divorce. People planning to marry could then have their prospective partner tested to assess the risk of future betrayal

Over the next few years, more and more things will be discovered to have a genetic component. Studies such as these are going to change how we view human nature.
