Science of the Sexes

I absolutely believe science is at least partially to blame for how people act. The line of purity of science goes like this: (click the picture for the full version, making it smaller just made it unreadable)



Going by this, you can't blame everything that everyone does on naturally occurring scientific processes because we, unlike the separate building blocks of like that make us up, possess consciousness, which is something we can't truly explain yet with what knowledge we have. The chemicals in our bodies definitely have influence on how individuals are inclined to acting, but consciousness to our complicated extreme allows us to learn from our unattached surroundings, which helps us along the adaptation component of evolution.

As we've evolved chemically/physically, our consciousness has worked side-by-side with science to alter the locations, living conditions, and everyday needs that we've had to adapt to. This considered, we've shaped our own biology and psyche in ways. This also means we have free will, so I can't agree that science completely predetermines personality, but this is exactly where sociology comes in, and is exactly why we'll continue to keep evolving, socially, physically, scientifically and not.
