  • ex punk henry rollins ? dude next to gg allin and the murder junkies he's one of the most punk rock people to ever walk to earth :P that doesnt just go away

  • @NAWFMATIC , Uh yeah it kinda goes away once you do lexus commericals

  • @zephyr2046 cant be mad at the guy for making some money i promise he what he got for that commercial or commercials its worth the underground loyalty :P

    and if u write a guy like rollins off u need to just go some where :)

  • LOL "yeah it turns out im not a warrior. im still YOUR warrior? alright." lol that biker dude is chill

  • I saw HR tongue another guys balls in the 80's.

  • i think we need to define the term warrior. what attributes make a person a warrior.

  • WARRIOR GENE??? okkaaaaayyy....

  • When you put that attitutude with a type a personality you have a problem. We have couple of good places for these types of people. Well really more than a couple. For the true warriors you can join military service. You can also do the sports thing. I liked boxing and the martial arts. From there you can do the jail thing or the mental hosptials.

  • I work witha guy just like Henry Rollin. Everyday I just want to shoot him

  • They have a word for it. It's called "balls". Look it up.

  • @MrWhooy more like 24/7 rage that will kill a guy for looking the wrong way

  • Randy.. the TRX maker!!! 

  • 29:48 brothers in arms lol

  • I can't make out the chant at 6:25 the kids were taunting him with, what was that?

  • Yay~ I understood the monk at around 38:03. This video is interesting though. It's nice to learn something new everyday.

  • dumb

  • I'm soo angry at this show that I wanna kick some fucking ass!!! ARRGHHHHHH!!!!! COME GET SOME MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!!! lol..

  • I'm happy that NatGeo used Henry as the"host" for this episode.

  • the warior gene dummmmb. Just call it the anger gene =P

  • i love this!

    

  • i was born violent them my parents took me to a doctor and got me high on drugs

  • Henry looks pissed off all the time.

  • They should call it the asshole gene. And the gene is a cop out either way. These "warriors" don't get all pumped when it's a war they'd lose. Case in point: these military toughs who pound on their chests while invading Iraq, but REFUSE to try it with China.

  • To blame the warrior gene for violent behavior is a cop out. There are some genetic predispositions , i.e. musical talent, artistic abilities, etc.. Violent behavior is learned the same way compassion and sharing are learned.

    The warrior gene should be more related to an individual be more inclined to risk take. Risk takers in society become soldiers, extreme sports participants and the like.

    It is important to not confuse Intermittent Explosive Disorder and rage addiction as a warrior gene.

  • A Samurai is a Warrior end of story.

  • I think it's a total bullshit copout to say, "well I'm violent because that's just my genetics." What about the totally non-violent among us like the Amish, the Quakers, the Mennonites...etc? I am sure there are Amish men who carry this gene, but they would never ever raise a hand in anger to anyone. It's all about a person's upbringing and environment...WE ALL have a capacity for violence and acting aggressively...if we choose to. We are not at the mercy of our genes like simple animals.

  • this guy "Henry" remind me of the guy in "Wrong Turn 2" ^.^

  • Test the Diaz brothers!

  • They do make it sound cool..lol..

    Born To Rage..ELLLLLLLL YUHHH!!!!

  • People with this warrior gene aren't necessarily going to be bad people. Look at the Navy SEAL. He used it to his advantage and became a successful, productive person. They just need to be more aware of it.

  • Comment removed

  • this dude remind me of Dexter aka Dexter Morgan on showtime

  • They would have called it the "dumbass rager gene", but that just pissed them off more.

  • why did you post an advertising in every 3 minutes? beggar dirt bags!

  • they should've checked out the guys in the Army Ranger. betcha a dollar all of them have the warrior gene.

  • rofl "but paul who has most violent experience of all of them is not the warrior gene carrier," nope, he's just an ass. in all seriousness, i agree with most people on here, don't glorify violent behavior by calling it the warrior gene.

  • "Warrior gene"? GTFO! They are begging people to ACT and be violent so guys can claim it wasn't them, but their god-gifted warrior genes. What a name fail!

  • they make it sound cool. They should call it the anger gene not "warrior" gene. I mean who doesn't want a warrior gene. Call it the anger, pissed off or asshole gene not warrior gene.

  • Comment removed

  • @hjames78 Associated with Atilla the Hun, Norse leaders, the entire Spartan Citystate and other such Warrior cultures.

  • @hjames78 It is called the Warrior gene because the definition of warrior is an individual who enjoys war, or battle. Just because your culture puts these individuals into high esteem does not change their nature. These men are warriors, do you think war is nice?

  • @bodinian no all warriors DONT enjoy war and all warriors DONT even have this gene.The monks had this gene for heaven sake.Being a warrior is a good thing to me you could be a "peaceful warior" too which means you dont enjoy making war. A warrior is a person that battles period, peaceful warriors battle the inner battle the battles of the soul and of life and can handle themselves quiet well.This gene isnt a benefit for a real warriror ether to control your anger makes you a better warrior.

  • @hjames78 Perhaps , but I ain't gonna be the one to ask Henry Rollins to be on a show about the ASSHOLE GENE

  • @freebearride okay you make a good point. I guess people wouldnt have wanted to be on the show if it had a negative name even if the negative name defined what the gene really is.

  • @hjames78 obviously you aren't getting the point. It is quiet frankly so complex that I doubt you could understand a damn thing IF I could find the words to explain it. What is sad are the ones who are incapable of controling the gene...those I pity.

  • I just believe this is going to open up an hold new can of worms. A lot of people are going to use this gene theory as a excuse for bad behavior and violence. Yes, it does sometimes depend on your environment and up bringing but it doesn't define your character are future out come. You have to decide what's right and wrong in the end. You know as a human beings what's wrong, yes there are some people who don't. Some are just sick and don't realized it there own sickness.

  • Comment removed

  • idiots being idiots. This is more of behavior than genes because of the emotional learning patterns they learned. I grow up what this type of behavior that's learned, but you have to ultimately decide is this what I want to become. I ultimately decided that I didn't want to continue that learn behavior that was learned within my household. No, I wasn't apart of a gang are anything but was a product of abusive behavior and a pattern this. They are pushing it with this gene theory.

  • Comment removed

  • this is cool, reminds me of 300. i some times wish i was a tough son of a bitch. women love tough men right, am i right?

  • @XmojotronX women love strong men not men that act like ragging fools, well not the smart ones anyway.

  • People who fight, unless in self defense, are nothing but babies who can't handle their emotions.

  • @JonO387 dennis cole thought henry rollins knew more about his sons murder than he was telling he went to his grave wondering and hoping to find out what happened maybe willaim shatner knows more

  • @JonO387 Did you actually watch the video..? lol

  • @forgottenxfriend I certainly did. Did you read my comment?

  • @JonO387 Shut up or I'll kick your ass.

  • @JustintimeHD hahaha

  • @JonO387 or ur a pussy :) , its in our human nature :)

  • @NAWFMATIC Yes, it is in our nature, but we, as a species must move past the harmful remnants of our animal past. For the most part, we are past it. Except for the babies who can't control their emotions. 

  • @JonO387 no we are primates we will always be animals , always doesnt matter if we leave this planet leave this galaxy run as far as u want hold ur breath control your emotions doesnt matter the fact that you have to control it is just ur idea of enlightenment but even experiencing loneliness sadness arousal fear alll those are emotions just like anger , and even if u restrain urself you still feel the same thing u just try to look cooler , in essence that person is just a hipster.

  • @NAWFMATIC I had an extremely hard time reading you long, rambling, incoherent run on sentence. It's not hard to see why you have a problem acting civilized when you can't even make a legible paragraph. I also think the last part there was an attempt at an insult. Boy do you know how to make a good point.

  • @JonO387 oh so the hipster thing caught on as an insult :) soar spot hipster boy ?

  • @NAWFMATIC After all that, this is what you focus on? Big surprise. I was simply pointing out your failed attempt at an insult. That doesn't give any credence to your theory that I am a "hipster". That's just more evidence that you're a moron. You're a bad troll with even worse grammar. Keep it coming tough guy, this just gets funnier and funnier.

  • @JonO387 whats funny is u didnt get mad until i called u a hipster , hipster hahaha

  • @NAWFMATIC Who's mad? You're an idiot. You thought I was mad because I think it's funny to laugh at morons like you?

  • @JonO387 calm down hipster boy wouldnt want u to ruffle a trendy hair on ur head out of place... hahahaha :D

    go promote world peace behind ur liberal arts degree and a cup of over priced coffee

  • @NAWFMATIC Hahahaha, it's like you get dumber and dumber every time. I shave my had so no luck there big guy. How is world peace a bad thing? I do have several degrees, non of which are liberal arts. I don't drink coffee, let alone over priced coffee. Looks like you're wrong again mister let's assume everything.

  • @JonO387 world peace is oppression

    silence is violence kind of like a slit wrist

    if the world's governments stopped fighting it would just mean one government took over or all the governments agreed to fuck the people a certain way. unchecked power is evil.

    if people stopped fighting means they are not human or under certain control, Lithium comes to mind.

    the day we no longer want to close our fists and say fuck you is the way we die as a species , its brought us this far

  • @NAWFMATIC

    the rich fuck over the common folk. war is their method of deflection, nothing more. Education removes most desires for war.

    If you have a fighting will that you can't supress that's all well and good. go play a sport, and go work for change in the world in a non violent way.  War however, is what has stopped us from going further/

  • @waldoman7 intelligent answer :)

    i dont think war has stopped progress it sturs the pot tho man :) governments get stale and greedy and snarf around when when revolution comes in the fashion its supposed to it washes all them fuckers down from theyr untouchable pedestals down

  • @NAWFMATIC

    revolution is markedly different from war against other peoples. there are good and bad reasons for it, and good and bad results(those middle eastern rebellions will often fail or just establish sharia law theocracies). Yet, if rebellion is what you speak of then yes, i'm much more inclined to draw my sword and stand beside you.

  • The warrior gene exists in most men. It simply needs to be turned on. The mechanism to turn it on is a need to react to environmental challenges. If confronted at an early age with violence, the mechanism acts early and becomes strong, if never enacted, the need or propensity for confrontation is greatly diminished. I remember protecting my "honor" by getting into fights, until the principal put a powerful end to the trend.

  • HENRY LOOKS LIKE A DUM ASS HE LOOKS LIKE A FUCKIN FAG!

  • very interesting!

  • Here comes more medicine. so at the end of the day science did not consider their theory being wrong.. Wrong move.

  • If women are so smart and have the power to choose men to mate with. Then, why do we still have financial frauds, car alarms, prisons, guhs, and war?

    I suggest GOD REVOKE women's power to choose men to mate with. They have incompetently used it to created the world we live in today. They choose the men to mate with and the genes to promote. They then raise the children to become who they are in the role of mothers, baby sitters, nannies, elementary school teachers. As wives, they guide men.

  • Thank all the lady's brilliant choices in men that society is exactly the way it is now -- with door locks, car alarm, scandals, frauds, financial schemes, and computer virus creators. These women really know how to pick em. Who needs " nice guys " in this world when these " survial of the fittest (cruelest / meanest ) " can run them over and create a " better society." Thank these brilliant women whom GOD had entrusted with the powerful " mating " power. Hate our society's faults? Blame women.

  • take a drink every time someone says "warrior gene"

  • Notice it only shows Hispanic, Black, and minorities Caucasian.

  • @johnbsk Minorities Caucasian? Nope. It's just Caucasian, so don't try to downplay it.

  • Fuck hazard! WS18ST

  • @DUCKIE775 oh yeah?, well the pg wodehouse book club of oceanside will rumble with both you lots in a no holds barred reading duel where we analyze the cheeky witticisms of jeeves and bertie wooster. grrrrrrrrr!!

  • The warriors isn't necessarily a bad thing. Remember the part about the navy seal vet? He became a successful ceo.

  • Whoa... it's that neo-nazi from Sons of Anarchy

  • I have this gene most likely. Although I think I have another gene that controls that one. I'm a Calm guy when it comes to Confrontation. Although i'll get ticked off if you hurt someone I care dearly for. So basically, don't tick me off...

  • I have this gene but I never release it. Never unless I really get ticked off.

  • Comment removed

  • More like the dumbass gene

  • Most aggressive people are less-educated.

  • Comment removed

  • of course mostly mexican and black

  • henry rollins is one the most inspiring people that i've ever seen. i've always looked up to him.

  • YOUTUBE!!!!! STOP FUCKING WITH THE GOD DAMM LAYOUT SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The majority of violent crime is commited by blacks.

  • @AtheistPatriot1 no its not you fucking ignorant dickhead that is just the way the media tends to portray it.

  • " The warrior gene, " is instinctual behavior which hasn't been nurtured by an image of worth . Our minds are becoming more and more unconscious due to the inability to be " right " inside .. dignity for ourselves and others is virtually unheard of , and a must in order to sooth the savage beast inside .

  • My friend said he was born with big dick disorder lmfao

  • @mertz313 Guys who say that usually have tiny penis disorder.

  • ok i am a metal head... i love slayer,pantera, korn but i am not violent...music does not make u violent

  • And 99.9% of the "warrior" shortened gene carriers have the shortened penis ... :P

  • Hmm....is newt genrich a nazi that wants to seize children for the nazi scientists to experiment on??? OMG!!

  • Everybody can whup somebody's butt that is mean to them. Duh. Are there extra mean genes implanted into people from the Nazi doctors and scientists our satanists brought in after the war with hitler?

  • So basically what this documentary is saying is that the effect of this gene is negligible if its even existant at all

  • it's not the warrior gene, it's the asshole gene

  • A bullet in the head will stop them.

  • @MikeyCreation Didn't work for one of them...

  • @MikeyCreation that is pretty violent, maybe you have the warrior gene?

  • And if there is any BIG group of people with their 'gang' group mean and evil it's the wall street traitors. As well as the crooked rich men who are the galords of them.

  • Is this trying to insinuate fighters as having a 'bad' gene?? Au Contaire, I'd whup some asses that tell me what to do when they try to force me to do evil for them. After a period of time I tried to use manners and politeness to do the job. As it is, these creators seem to know nothing of big families as I do when people had huge number of kids there was almost always one kid that was a 'black Sheep' of the family. Mean and dishonest. I see where this downsizing of numbers have changed people.

  • That's why there are gay penguins and lioness that plays with her food and not eat it.

  • My friend dated a guy who was always implusive and angry. I have no doubt it's in the gene's. He would rant for hours and finally had to be hospitalized..thank GOD I'm passive and relaxed :D as for my friends relationship with this guy...it didn't last and he ended up in prison.

  • Honestly, I would say that with the "Warrior Gene" that those who are violent don't all have it. And not all of those who aren't violent may have it. Just like the "Gay Gene".

  • HENRY DOES NOT HAVE THE WARRIOR GENE. There I spoiled it.

  • ok, find all the people with that gene and sterilize them

  • I am a pacifist. I would guess I do not have this mutation but I do not have proof...

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • Can this also be refereed to as the clutch gene in sports? or how competitive a person is having this gene?....

  • So what now, can you blame a murderer for being born, when being aggressive is out of their control because they are born with the "rage gene"? The only way to cure this is through education. If you drop out, you will not be able to nurture down these primal instincts.

  • Lol, it took people that long to realize that a DNA causes aggressiveness. Of course to be fair, scientists might have theorized it, but this video actually shows the evidence. DNA might also be the reason why certain countries are still in 3rd world status.

  • LMAO THE WARRIOR GEN

  • Comment removed

  • Gattaca

  • more like the asshole gene

  • @Biocide201 people with this gene 1000 yrs ago are why chizzleheads like you have survived to this day

  • The guy who got his ass kicked by Henry Rollins when he was a kid, disliked this video.

  • I was born with the boner gene. Whenever I see a hot girl, I get a boner.

  • @Idtelos So was I but it only works for guys, weird...

  • they just need to drink some mellow yellow. 

  • fucking animals

  • omg. "its called the warrior gene thats pretty cool" no guys its not cool. its not about strength or athleticism, its about lack of control and chemicals being out of balance. its not "cool"

  • I was born to rage, but i got passed that in RL and released that RAGE from my character in SKYRIM!

  • Born to rage? Sounds like a title for a dubstep song.

  • Is nobody capable of looking at both nature and nurture as supplements?

  • 13:10 whats wrong with that? don't break the yolk ffs!

  • 36:30 is probably where you want to go, results

  • Unfortunately, I was born with the Mr. Bean gene. :(

  • 38:05 that was deep man.

  • The biker guys show that it could be both nature and nurture. The Japanese dude is cool as a cucumber and he has the Warrior gene, yet that bald dude with the 'stache that had the most violent past didn't have it. Gene or no gene, everyone is responsible for their own actions. Before we act we always have a choice.

  • It is mostly hollywood that affects our habitat

  • My skyrim character has this gene.

  • @Adawg4008 You must have the virgin gene

  • @ChuckNoarus And you the troll gene.

  • @Adawg4008

    Orc player.

  • @Adawg4008 hahahahaha

  • @Adawg4008 mine has the sneak and stab gene.

  • violence is learned ! yes tendencies exist , but it always can be taught out of a person by parents or caring loved ones ,"peace is beautiful" is much more powerful i think. does this gene remain stable all through life or does it change depending on your behaviour ?all my opinion just

  • Pareto's Principal or 80/20 rule. 20% of the population cause 80% of all the problems, eliminate those 20% and we'd have a perfect world.

  • @sexcation who gets to choose the 20 percent ? you ? okay :) i don't agree with the rule , Hitleresque a tad?

  • @sexcation

    then 20% of those 80% would cause all the problems

  • @sexcation ya just like Hitler! :)

  • Gangs should be eradicated.Only leads to superiority complex.And just leads to more violence.

  • @commando2224 Only way to get rid of gangs is to get rid of poverty.

  • @dodocrest this is also very true and better education.

  • stupid

  • ''the warrior gene'' that sounds kinda cool haha but really, today it could be seen as more of a curse :p who knows if you could be rejected a job because of a gene screening or something dumb like that :o
