Popular question: How much of human behavior is explained by biology (“nature”) and how much is due to upbringing/culture/environment (“nurture”)? Popular answer: “Everything interesting is due to nurture! Biology tells us almost nothing of any import about human behavior. In particular, none or almost none of the variation in behavioral traits among humans has anything to do with genes, or hormones, or anything crudely biological like that.”
