Well they've overcome human nature with hard work.

Cultures and the values that societies have, greatly impacts how they view things.  

Just consider how society has changed by what's considered inappropriate.  Women used to dress much more conservatively, and over time they've gotten more freedom to dress how they want.  

There's tons of studies about how society affects people.  In many ways, their changing culture has as much of an impact on human society as their nature does.

you mean the hunter gatherer tribes that shame/shamed men who attempt to compete or demonstrate their individuality in anyway that might conflict with the interests of the group?

i always find it interesting when people bring those groups up because of how supposedly egalitarian they are without acknowledging that fact that they achieve that by beating the individuality out of their members

i suppose lowering everyone down to the lowest common denominator is ok for some once you can have "equality"

Yeah, the cool hunter/gatherer groups that have cars and projectors.
