"Genes constantly influence all behavior" must be true, since in all living thi ngs proteins are constantly being transcribed from genes.

Genes and environment constantly interact. Genes don't just set probabilities or determine boundaries. All probabilities, all boundaries, everything related to behavior is determined by constant gene-environment interactions

Thank you for your fight against the strawman. I do not mean to imply that genes and environment do not interact, on the contrary, I consider the fact that they interact obvious and need not be mentioned.

Genes obviously influence behavior though too? That's not even debatable. They're the reason why I'm not a mouse scurrying for cheese

Oops, I just noticed I missed the word human. I'm sorry, it's been fixed.
