The Traveller Gene: Most people (indeed, whole species) never leave their homeworld: they never venture out of their gravity well, content to work, play, and even thrive on their home planet. Some postulate that there is a genetic basis for the drive of some (and the lack of drive in others) to reach beyond the bounds of a single world into the greater universe: a Traveller Gene. [1]

Description (Specifications)

Many, perhaps most, sophont species are composed of great demographic masses with little motivation to do more than eat, sleep, reproduce, and otherwise survive.
