Heredity allows for the passing of traits from one generation to the next. It is scientifically proven that genes influence human behavior. Some individuals are genetically predisposed to Alcoholism, intelligence or aggressive behavior. This supports the argument that behavioral traits are genetically ingrained. Hormones cause mood swings, and hormonal imbalance has underlying effects on behavior. For instance a high level of testosterone is linked to aggressive behavior. Elevated levels of thyroid hormone causes irritability, and this is observed in middle aged women.
