In New York, researchers at Rockefeller University have been studying how worms’ genetics change behaviors over time, such as how they react with other worms competing for food and environmental factors such as population density. So does this mean your behaviors on Twitter and Facebook, or other social and environmental behaviors, are changing based on your genetics? Cori Bargmann, a neuroscientist at Rockefeller University says there is a definite possibility. Bargmann told Science Daily that “The big take home is that one of the ways behavior evolves is through the appearance of genetic changes that affect sensory capabilities. We have every reason to believe that human behaviors have been shaped in a similar way.” So watch your social media interactions, your genetics might just be influencing your behavior.
