Is there a genetic basis for the universal patterns in human behavior?
Or is nurture superior to nature?
The issue is not biology vs humans but biological determinism vs biological potentiality.
If genetic determinism is true, we'd have to live with it but no evidence exists yet to support it. It's continued popularity is due to the social prejudice of those who benefit from it.
Our biological nature does not stand in the way of our social reform.
