Wouldn't intelligence be 100% genetic. I mean humans have intelligence and insects have way less. And all that programming to make one or the other is encoded in the DNA.

You could just as easily argue that it's 100% environment, since a human who is never provided with food will end up dead, and therefore much less intelligent than an insect.
