Behaviours are likely to be developed in particular situations. Human behaviour is highly susceptible to being changed. To assume that humans have a genetic predisposition to behave in particular ways does not mean it is right to behave in those ways. Believing that because things are a particular way means they should be that way is to commit the naturalistic fallacy: culture and human behaviour: how we are different, behaviours and meanings can differ dramatically across cultures. Many of these differences involve the degree to which a society is independent, or individualistic (having fewer social relationships of a looser sort), or whether it is interdependent, or collectivistic (having many relationships of a highly prescribed nature).
