I agree with you. One possible way to rectify the meme is to change “determined by” to “adapting to” or something along those lines. I think that’s what the meme is actually trying to say, but used the wrong words.
yeah, I think that was maybe my point, it would be a mistake to conclude “human nature is determined by material conditions” and better to say “human nature does not exist, instead human behavior is driven primarily by material conditions” - but I understand if for the sake of brevity a meme might not want to be so verbose

It uses the right words, the ones Marx did. Determined by, as in the environment is primary.
