While twins raised together often develop very different personalities, with one being nicer than the other, scientists have discovered that genetics may play a role. Testing revealed that the hormones oxytocin and vasopressin, which promote happiness and love, are influenced by DNA. However, having or lacking the genes for these hormones does not determine personality, as upbringing and life choices also impact how kind or mean-spirited a person becomes.

1. Niceness Found
in Your DNA.

2. Can Niceness really be in your
DNA??
Most of the time when two twins are raised the
same house together, they grow up to be almost polar
opposites.
While one usually grows up nice and caring, the
other can grow up to be mean-spirited.
Scientists have discovered one of the reasons this
may happen.

3. How Does This Happen??
There are two Hormones in your body
that cause happiness and love.
They are called Oxytocin and
Vasopressin.

4. It’s True… In a way…
After it was tested on a random group
of people, the theory of niceness in your
DNA was deemed true.
However, life is still about choices.
Whether you have these genes or not, it all
depends on your choices.
