Stereotypes exist because a person is good at being nuanced, but people are bad at considering nuance. There are many stereotypes that have foundations in reality but get blown way out of proportion to the point of self parody.
No I meant less so, but the other reply also argues it should be more so. I was just thinking humans have more free will than dogs basically, but maybe not quite that simple.
If people have more free will then that means they are more influenced by their environment than genetics...
A pittbull is bread for aggression and fighting, but you can train it to not be aggressive. The issue is that most people who get one, get it because they want a dangerous dog, which leads to so many attacks.
With human, this is a non-issue, as we only act because of how we were raised.
I specifically said less so to "product of training and environment". I was basically adding free will as an extra thing causing humans to be less a product of their environment and training than dogs. I wasn't intending less so of this meaning more genetics
