Question
Shorten and simplify the following
When people argue whether a behaviour is a
product of nature or culture, they often seem to
assume the two are separate causes. Yet the
separation is far from complete. Nature shapes
culture, and vice versa.
The influence of nature on culture starts with very
basic and simple insights. As we have said, one
function of culture is to help people satisfy their
biological needs. People need food, water and
shelter, and they often need a good environment for
raising their children. Cultures that fail to provide
these do not last long

When debating whether behavior comes from nature or culture, people often treat them as separate causes. However, they are interconnected. Nature influences culture, and culture influences nature.
Nature affects culture by fulfilling basic needs like food, water, and shelter. Cultures that don’t meet these needs struggle to survive.
