I think 30% behaviour pattern emanated from biologically based wired instinct while 70% from acquired learning , culture and language.

Biologically fixed could include manly behavior of possessiveness, bravery, cowardness , aggression like males are more aggressive , risk taking abilities etc.

Because , when we are born we are not cOmpletely a blank slate but as a child as well some behavioral properties in us are inherent. For eg. A sense of justice and a sense of care for other person. It is quite evident from the behaviour of a young one or an infant. When we were young we could many times differentiate between what is good and what was bad, similarly what is fair to be. Also a behavior of care could be seen in small children for others like their siblings.

Though many behavioural patterns are not inherent and are learnt through life like respecting women, or not respecting them or not considering them equals, sharing stuff with others, doing something for others, charity, patience , manners , ethics and attitude towards life. All these are shaped as the person grows older and develops rather than biologically fixed.
