Why Men Cheat; Everyone Read this Article Review

A Brain Industry Review,
by Pat Darnell and Friends


Memorize this magic Phrase; "New research hints that some of the difference might be due to a single genetic variation."

It will cover you for the rest of your mortal life if you are alive right now and living on into the 21st Century !!

MooPig Wisdom is going to hold onto this phrase for the next couple of years. As advocate of trendy science, MooPig Staffers state they tend to put a tiny donation in the cookie jar for their kids' college funds every time this phrase is in a headline.

What do you say? This phrase could even be a line that goes at the end of a parenthetic statement like the Redneck Jokes Follies of Old 'What's His Name...?

For example:
If you crave a tuna fish peanut butter bagel sandwich at 1 AM over sex with your wife every morning, new research hints that some of the difference might be due to a single genetic variation.

"Like meadow voles, some men just don't seem to be built for monogamy, whereas others, like swans, mate for life. New research hints that some of the difference might be due to a single genetic variation..." says ScienceNOW Daily NEWS magazine's Constance Holden. (Holden, C; 09.02.2008)

AH-HAAAA!!!! We knew it !!
  • The gene in question, AVPR1a, governs a receptor that regulates the brain's production of vasopressin, a hormone that contributes to attachment behavior with mates and offspring. A few years ago, scientists found that when they added extra copies of the AVPR1a gene to the brains of promiscuous meadow voles, the animals began acting more like monogamous prairie voles, spending more time with partners and grooming offspring. A similar role for the
  • AVPR1a gene has been observed in chimps and bonobos. (Holden)
  • Might such a simple switch be found in humans? A team led by Hasse Walum of the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, sequenced the AVPR1a gene in about 500 pairs of adult same-sex Swedish twins, all of them married or cohabiting for at least 5 years, and their partners. One variation of the gene was particularly common; about 40% of males had either one or two copies of a version--or allele--of the gene known as "334." (Holden)

So, this goes out to all the lonesome cowboys who ride the ranges on a fence inspection to non-monogamous relationships. Giddy-up, there might be monogamist's bliss awaiting you all after all.

But, you see it isn't as simple as the prairie voles' experience. The last paragraph of the article claims some interesting conclusions:


  • Larry Young of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, whose team found the association between the vasopressin polymorphism and pair bonding in voles (ScienceNOW, 9 June 2005), says that assuming the finding can be replicated, it shows how a brain system developed early in mammalian evolution has been retained over the millennia and continues to play "a critical role in social relationships in both rodents and man." (Holden)
Which I and MooPig staffers are interpreting as a disclaimer, in that probably some 30% of the "polymorph's" will go ahead and cheat anyway on their monogamous relation; but still use the magic phrase "new research hints that some of the difference might be due to a single genetic variation."
  • Easteal of the Australian National University in Canberra adds that "the effects of the ... polymorphism may be greater than these results indicate" because the study didn't cover single men, who presumably are less inclined to fidelity than those in relationships. (Holden)
Which we interpret there might be many sub-class types of men in human population creating a variance larger than say prairie vole, chimpanzee or bonobos communities might produce. Duhh!!
