Can you prove that your environment didn't create that drive?
There really is nothing special or different about humans from the other inhabitants of this planet. We are a product of evolution. Our pro's and our con's determined by what helped us survive.
We merely took a seperate route to solve these problems. i.e. The formation of a larger brain that allows us to create tools to solve a problem rather than the modification of our bodies over a long period of time. Because opposable thumbs become nothing if we didn't have the brain power to use them to our advantage.
Several more advantages have resulted due to our larger mental capacity, such as the use of our vocal chords for communication, and making marks in a coordinated manner to pass along knowledge. But essentially, we are nothing more than a large group of animals with a greatly evolved ability to process information.
