By the way, I'm curious about what you want to suggest. A sort of backward system involving the brain in deciding the hormone level of the cell environment and influencing the suppression of particular genetic code? I think you're right in suggesting that the coupling between information in the genetic material and in the environment is tighter than often suggested.
You seem to refer to a inheritable system that is parallel to the information (m)DNA transmits (not only to alternative/direct environment influences). That does have something to do with evo
psy, I guess?
Some nizzle-dizzle (not that important):

I am not sure I really understand your question though, how would environmental selection NOT reflect developmental selection or vice-versa?
Developmental selection is a part of environmental selection. So, the question is (and only is) 'versa': how would developmental selection NOT reflect environmental selection? Because developmental selection gives rise to a lot of other restrictions, sometimes more loosely. It doesn't
predict which organism will survive.
Yes, some behavior is certainly caused primarily by genetics. Others are caused by a mixture between genetic and environmental factors. This is probably the vast majority of behavior.
Cognition processes are caused by a mixture between genetic and environmental factors? I think the part of genetics is only important in regard to brain development.
I forgot to add (and couldn't resist) that human pathologies could also be caused by demonic possession, but these are easily cured by consuming mass quantities of beans.
Do you know a serious study about that?
