Scientific consensus rejects any hard-line nature vs. nuture stance, including social deconstructionism and [[biological essentialism]] respectively. Humans are both malleable and have natural impulses/behaviours. Many emotions, tendencies and traits are universal and fixed, while others are not universal across cultures.

This falls in line with [[biological essentialism]]. | Scientific consensus rejects any hard-line nature vs. nuture stance, including social deconstructionism and [[biological essentialism]] respectively.
