Looking at this question from the nature perspective‚ one would argue that an organism’s genes influence these processes. Natural human behavior is seen as the result of already-present biological factors‚ such as genetic code. On the other hand‚ someone looking at it from a nurture perspective would argue that these processes are acquired through interaction with the environment. Nurtured human behavior is seen as the result of environmental interaction‚ which can provoke changes in brain structure
