influenced by learning.*b. Humans share many inherited behaviors but are mostly influenced by learning.

• Unlike nonhuman animals, humans share very few inherited

behaviors and are mostly influenced by learning.

• Unlike nonhuman animals, humans' behavior is totally learned.

• Animals with smaller brains and simpler nervous systems have mostly _____

behaviors, whereas animals with larger brains and more complex nervous systems have mostly _____ behaviors.

• learned; inherited

*b. inherited; learned

• innate; inherited
• learned; innate
