----- I just corrected you since you said proteins don't control behaviour. And I showed for the readers how it works. Especially since you attributed me of confusing protein functions with hormones (lol).
** Actually you haven't corrected me at all. You're just given standardized examples of major relations between living beings and try to pass them off as "behaviour". We may have a very different explanation for what behaviour is, because complex behaviour traits are far from pre-programmed pathways. And you're still confusing protein functions with hormones, given that most hormonal regulation is done at the DNA level, not protein.
-------------------------------
I explained the chain between inheritance - environmental influence that results in behaviour, by giving some examples of mechanisms that are involved, partly to give an idea how complex it is beyond the basic DNA level (which I repeat, is irrelevant to this particular discussion). Not many people have any understanding of even the basics of this interaction. That reply/post wasn't solely meant for you.
Your bolded sentence is plain wrong. I didn't try to pass them off as behaviour (the mechanisms between genes and environmental influence). I only explained in simple terms the principal link between nature vs nurture.
I do not confuse proteins with hormones. Once again you read in your own level of knowledge into my posts. Hormonal regulation is one thing, an ongoing process in human homeostasis, but the basis for hormone production (for example the actual organs that produce hormones) in the organism is indeed proteins.
And again, pre-programmed pathways is part of this link that results in behaviour. It's not the full description or program of the behaviour itself.
