Both genes and culture are subject to evolutionary pressures, and they're often tightly coupled, reinforcing or inhibiting each other via feedback loops. It's rarely accurate to say of a high-level human trait "it is purely innate" or "it is purely acquired".
Another way to look at it: culture leaves nothing untouched. It is bound to shape everything in our lives to some extent. Simultaneously, culture doesn't exist in a vacuum -- everything that makes up who we are can be traced back to our genes, because that's where we come from.
Just to be clear this is much more analogy than science. "Natural" evolution and "cultural evolution" (if there is such a thing) are analogs of each other and have shared processed but they're very different things with distinct mechanisms. Sorry to nitpick but important.
Is the genetic understanding of complex traits well established enough to say that? My understanding is we are still learning basic building blocks of genetic inheritance for higher order traits.
high level human trait here refers to both physiological and psycological traits?
It's both chomskyan as piagetian! I mean that there will always be an original state to which structure is added through interaction with the environnement. The way i see it: giving shape to the original soupe! Also great read on the subject:pic.twitter.com/9xp6FNNVWV
