Human nature influences culture much more than the other way around.

I'm very interested in your response to my post above. On what basis do you say that one has "more" of an influence? Can you credibly and coherently defend that position? And how do you respond to the argument that even the expression of our genes depends almost exclusively on environmental concerns? Are you just assuming relatively normal conditions in the womb/etc?

I'm just basing it on the idea that every time we study some aboriginal society or some native tribe in some remote area we find that they do pretty much everything the same way that we do them. There are some superficial differences, of course, but it just seems like if you sum up all of human action and interaction, human nature plays a dominant role.
