"Human nature" usually refers to congenital tendencies in behavior.
For an example of how this relates to human nature, see The Biological
Basis of Morality
http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/98apr/biomoral.htm
For more on Human Nature, check out Behavioral Genetics
http://www.ornl.gov/hgmis/elsi/behavior.html
and

Behavioral genetics (AKA human nature) differs from laying everything on
the doorstep of god in that there is no evidence linking that "doorstep"
to human behavior, but there is plenty of evidence linking human behavior
to genetics and biology.
