I was born pretty much without a competitive drive and I am also autistic which lends itself to my thesis pretty well:
I think it is nurture as most autistic people dont have a strong competitive drive, neither is it known that prehistoric humans would have been very competitive, in Opposition, current humanity would not exist if humans were mostly competitive.
This leads to my thesis that the need for social acceptance which is more prevalent in neurotypical people leads to the development of competitive driver under artificial scarcity e.g. opportunism.
