What else would influence human behavior at a basic level?
You are posing a different question though. The argument in the meme is that all behavior is explainable through genetics and neurobiology. This would be true for someone with absolute knowledge, but no biologist is able to fully explain human (and most other animals') behavior by genetics and neurobiology.
Regarding your question: the building blocks and involved factors might be simple, but you can still have synergies at play that are not fully described by the basic level parameters.
Oh I 100% agree with you here! I thought your first comment was more of a free will/non-deterministic universe POV. I guess I read more into the "CAN BE" part of the meme.
It always annoys me how determinist viewpoints are misappropriated by racist "all nature no nurture" morons instead of the provably true and effective systemic approaches instead of the dumb individualistic ones.
Haha yeah. The thing is, I'm a biologist so I felt misrepresented in this meme ;)
