This question has bugged philosophers and scientists since the dawn of time. Are scientists any close to a convincing answer? are there any new insights in this regard?
@Mohamed, I find this chapter on human nature very useful! What human being is, related to human nature...!?

Dear Mohamed
Human nature is a set of criteria by philosophy, including ways of thinking and acting, that all humans have in common. There are several branches of science who study human nature, including sociology, sociobiology, psychology, among others. Philosophers and theologians also do research on the subject

A human being is one created in the image of God. He has a soul, spirit and a body; he uses his spirit to contact the spirit world. The soul is made up of the mind, the will and the emotions. This is what guides the body, as spiritual beings we are supposed to be controlled by our spirit. Many times we are let by our thinking, desires and feelings. This is not supposed to be so, we are supposed to be led of the Spirit of God. This comes only after our total submission to the will of God in our lives.
Generally speaking, if a human being never shows anger, then I think something's wrong. He's not right in the brain (Dalai Lama).
I could not agree more. How about genetic predisposition? It certainly has a role to play, yet it is often relegated to the lowest ranks, and even forgotten . Perhaps this is due to the infancy of genetics as a scientific discipline?.
