Behavior is the expression of ones' genetic and physiological (chemical) make-up. Certainly, environment has played a crucial role in the construction of our genetic and physiological expression. Just ask the dinosaurs! Differences in individual behavior are derived from the differences in this individual genetic and physiological expression. These 'differences' in behavior are miniscule compared to the the similarities in behavior among individuals. Is behavior dictated by the environment? In the grand scheme of the universe---most certainly. But, genetics (DNA) is the manifestation of a chemical cabal to thwart the control that the environment has over living organisms. Our genetic history is the story of constant struggle to wrest control of our behavior and our future behavior from the clutch's of the environment. The dinosaurs' genetics did not develop a nervous system that could detect wayward asteroids that could whack them out of existence. Hence, mammals were given the opportunity to succeed where our smelly reptilian ancestor's failed. I contend that our gross behavior is derived from that struggle between genetics and the environment. -- Tony DiMauro
