Was capitalism a product of human nature or did capitalism shape our nature?

Capitalism was a product of human nature the same way feudalism and communism were products of human nature. This means no system really represents human nature on its entirety. 

But living under capitalism, individuals are incentivized (even forced) to act in a "capitalist" manner and exhibit the traits that "generate" the system itself: hoarding capital, monetizing all aspects of their lives, etc. The same way as people living under mutualist societies are incentivized (and also forced) to exhibit and act in a mutualist manner: sharing, focusing on the social aspect of life, etc.
