Nature Vs. Nurture Controversy

One of the most long running disputes in the social sciences is the nature versus nurture controversy. The biosocial approach emphasized the role of biology in determining human behavior. For instance, judging by the foraging society that still survive today, it appears that most of past’s cultures were egalitarian. Therefore, based on man-the–hunter theory it’s safe to assume that it was based on two-body type, male and female. This theory pointed to an economic contribution where men did most of the hunting and women focusing more on gathering and childrearing (Ryle, 2015). Another theory that put emphasizes on the distinction of male and female is known as the androcentric evolution theories. Here the typical pattern of male dominance is assumed to be universal in all society, in contrast the female pattern typically placed women on a subordinate level (Ryle, 2015).

The size and strength of males today have very little to do with human sustainability. Technological and social development has begun to reduce the importunacy male vs. female, making biological differences between the two genders somewhat moot. Therefore, the role of biology in the study of gender should continue to be use to support Maccoby and Jacklin, that there is little to no differences between the both genders (Ryle, 2015). The study should also concentrate on producing evidence to aid in the eradication of inequalities between male and female. Furthermore, technological and social development has heavily played in the favor of nurture, even though some involuntary body functions are still based on nature or instincts such as reflexes, breathing and blinking. However, by showing how today’s human behavior is mostly learned because modern advances has replaced the survival of the fittest demeanor it is easy to see why nurture out weighs
