And any real explanation of human behaviour really does have to take into account the massive contribution from knowledge and ideas.

For instance, the fact that you're reading this on your laptop or i-device can't really be explained on the level of genes.

Of course you are. It's just a non-issue really. I'm not sure anyone claims knowledge itself rather than capacity to gain it is in genes

They don't, but I think *some* of these genes vs culture debates miss out on even considering the role of knowledge.

Culture is treated like a set of more or less arbitrary ideas we can freely choose, when it's much more than that if you include science.

Not sure what you mean. Some cultures/subcultures value science & some don't.Ppl who have choice to include science may or may not choose to

OK, you have the choice whether to use science, but if you do choose to use science, the knowledge itself isn't arbitrary.
