the truth is it has been debated over time if nature or nurture makes human. however, it should be noted that understanding human behaviour may not be achieved in a narrow sense. biologically, a child is born without inbuilt mental content (blank slate). but acquires all forms of behaviour or attitudes through socialization and interaction between and within groups. in a more understandable fashion, such child learns that behaviour which is acceptable and best for his society and discard that which is seen as improper. so from this angle to a large extent human behaviour is acquired. on the other hand, scholar like lombrozo claims that human behaviour is biological rather than social. this means that the behaviour of man rests on the extra chromosomes he possesses and the genes inherited from parents or forbears. so in a clear assertion one cannot totally discard any of those 2 in the formation of human behaviour.
