Dealing with Darwin

A man who knows he has this allele, she added, might be able to use the
knowledge to ignore tugs of restlessness he might feel in his marriage:
"You can say, ‘Oh, it is just my DNA, and I am going to ignore it.’ "

…Fisher [an academic researcher], who described herself as a romantic, said she would not reject
a potential mate who has two copies of the risky allele. She paused,
then added: "But I might not start a joint bank account with them for
the first few years."

Here is the full story.  Maybe they should put that on a T-shirt: "Oh, it is just my DNA, and I am going to ignore it."
