    The document discusses the DRD4-7R gene, which is associated with traits like novelty seeking and exploration. Around 30-50% of humans have this gene. While Dr. Kenneth Kidd believes the gene is connected to exploration, he also thinks other factors could cause humans to explore. The reading asks questions about identifying people with exploratory traits, whether exploration is caused more by genes or other factors, if the reader has the DRD4-7R gene themselves, and if humans will ever stop exploring.
