So the word "culture" is dependent on how you define your groups. You could mean all humans as a group, as opposed to apes. You could mean African vs Asian, or American vs Canadian, or NYCers vs Bostonians.

I don't intend to ignore innateness. I see it being overapplied here, to the extend that the innateness of a trait is assumed, then all other possible causes of the trait are ruled out. It's faulty logic.

I would have called such "physchological" traits just part of culture.
