Does study of animals help us to learn human nature?(2007.10.27 As there are lots of differences between human beings and the animals,I don't agree the idea that the study of animals can help us to learn human nature.As for the reasons,I will make several reasons as below. The first reason is that although the human beings evolved from the animal,they have the very paticular characteristics that does'n exist in the animals.For example,man can make tools and communicate unlimitedly with each others in the use of languages.And most important to the human beings is that they are the labour man,which,I mean they have the labour ability,they can invent and produce a lot of things,such as the very complex tools,the spaceship,which is not being found in animals so far. The second reason is that human beings' spirits and culture heritages is the resouce which make the significant divisions between animals and human beings.For example,the same phenomenon that both animal mothers and human mothers feed their babies,the first is just an animal action,and the second one is full of the anthropological meanings such as the human emotion,the life span continuing,ect.People themselves create the human heritages that help them form their own particularities which signify the meaning of "human being". In summary,maybe the study of animals have its worth in some other aspects,but I can't see that it can help the us to know more about the human beings. |
