Though it's probably too simplistic to say that any living thing is a product of their environment, yes humans are a product of both their environment and their genetic makeup.

As far as environment goes, there is both the external environment, where things happen outside your body and the internal environment, your physiological responses to things you experience, things you eat, etc. Sometimes the internal environment can even turn some genes on and others off, there is a thing called epigenetics... the genes have to be there though, it's not like you're suddenly going to glow like a firefly if you eat a certain food or get really stressed out.

An adult's brain, while not as plastic (has the capability to change the way it connects its brain cells), is still plastic enough to change, and if your mental makeup is the product of your wiring then the environment can have a massive effect on how you perceive the world and who you are. Just by reading this your brain is rewiring itself ever so slightly ;)
