Where Do Our Behaviors Come from?

Behavior is also driven, in part, by thoughts and feelings, which provide insight into individual psyche, revealing such things as attitudes and values. Human behavior is shaped by psychological traits, as personality types vary from person to person, producing different actions and behavior.

What is the source of human behavior?

Human behavior flows from three main sources: desire, emotion, and knowledge.

Where do our traits or behavior came from?

Information from genes let the body know what characteristics a person will have, like if they will have hairy or hairless ears and/or a small or big chin. These instructions come from our parents; when their genes are mixed together, our set of genes is formed. This is why we often look like a mixture of our parents!
