Jesus h. fucking christ, man! No one here is denying the contribution of evolutionary socio-biology to the current human condition.
However, if we were all biological instinct, and very little learning...then a baby would immediately be able to fend for itself, hunt, gather, and survive. Instead, it takes 16 years or so until a newborn is a physical adult. Our social learning and interaction is as much a part of our biological and genetic predispositions.
This is really undeniable and unrefutable evidence. Just look at the studies of feral children. There are so few out there because most adandonded children succomb, they cannot survive on their own.
