Supposing that this 'agressive-nurturing difference' is defined genetically, then I think we're the wrong species the test that theory on either way. As a species, we mix genetical-defined behaviour a lot more with learned behaviour then most animals. Much of what makes us human is something we have learned from other people, which has much more different defining factors than our genetic inheritance. I think it's incredibly difficult -if not too difficult- to say that a tendency is natural or learned behaviour.
