Answer:

Biological determinism

Step-by-step explanation:

Biological determinism refers to the point that all human behavior is natural and is determined by genes and brain size or other biological aspects.

This theory is in contrast with the notion that human behavior is determined by social factors and surrounding.

It can be said that there is denial of free will to determine your behavior.
