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. | Scientific consensus rejects any hard-line nature vs. nuture stance, including social deconstructionism and [[biological essentialism]] respectively. However, the science is clear that most human behaviour is biologically rather than socially determined. 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 and Y-DNA. | ||
Humans all have basically the same facial movement in response to emotional stimuli, across all cultures. This falls in line with [[biological essentialism]]. Cultures vary wildly in violent behavior among people with similar Y-DNA, as well as globally, which falls in line with social construction theory. However, there are more countries with people of E3* Y-DNA haplogroup in countries with the top 50% of violent behaviour, which falls in line with biological essentialism. | Humans all have basically the same facial movement in response to emotional stimuli, across all cultures.
