Are the world's toughest bikers genetically predisposed to aggression?

Biological Biker Brawls | Explorer: Born to Rage? · 3:11 · Video: National Geographic · Watch at the source

In short: Henry Rollins visits a Los Angeles Harley repair shop to investigate a provocative question: is the stereotypical biker persona a product of biology or environment? This exploration looks into the existence of a 'warrior gene' in subcultures defined by toughness.

The video examines whether specific genetic markers, often referred to as the 'warrior gene,' influence the behavior of the biker community. By observing these individuals in their own environment, the segment explores the intersection of hereditary traits and the cultural archetypes of rebellion and strength.

It matters because it touches on a fundamental debate in behavioral science: the extent to which our DNA dictates our social identities and temperaments.
