Please read those threads:
Critical Periods of Canine Development

Socializing Puppies

Also do a search for socialisation... and get your pup out to explore the world. It's high time.
Besides the importance of socializing, you will find the mental stimulation will calm down a pup but it will not "cure" the biting and puppy behaviour but only patience and repetition.
Some says: A tired pup is a sweet pup, but I say: A mental tired pup, is a calm(er) pup and will be a better companion in the long run!
Enjoy your pup and Good Luck!
