Re: Behaviors.
It has been demonstarted that there is a significant genetic component to some of our behaviours. That strongly suggests that evolution would act on behaviours.
​
do you have a link to a research on the field which supports this assertion?

Re: Behaviors.
If this true then why is there a choice to do good and do bad? If behavior is biological and not free will, then there would be no choice for our actions. They would simply be natural processes.
​
If society will accept the principle that free will is only apparent, but doesn't truely exists it will lead to anarchy and chaos.
​
one of the important princples which society is protected by is the notion that each individual is responsible for his own actions.
