Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently composed from 'human' (pertaining to people) and 'behavior' (mannerisms or actions). This simple noun-noun combination follows ordinary compositional patterns found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
Human behavior comes from putting together human (a person) and behavior (how someone acts). Imagine a scientist watching people and writing down what they do, and you can see why the phrase means 'the ways people act' today.
