Broadly speaking, how much of human behavior can be attributed to our genes? How much can be attributed to our culture or society? How much to other factors?
Specifically, to what extent, if any, does religious behavior have a genetic basis?
Again, specifically, to what extent, if any, does sexual behavior have a genetic basis? Are the social roles of men and women more decided by their genes or more decided by society?
My text book says "It is meaningless to question whether a personality trait or an aptitude is 'caused by genetics' or 'caused by environments' because both....are essential to life and development...it is impossible for genetics to have an effect without an environment."
I remember reading 70% environment, 30% genes somewhere else but I cannot remember where.
