摘要: The importance of biology was probably best expressed by the philosopher religion, Abraham J. Heschel (1965). He noted that whereas “a theory about stars never becomes part being stars”, a human beings enters our consciousness, determines self-image, and modifies very existence. ‘The image man affects nature ... We become what we think ourselves.” If ourselves as killer apes, certain behavioral phenotypes are acceptable would not be tolerated if view humans current apex an evolutionary trend towards cooperation.
