HUMAN LIFE 



not necessarily mean something more 

 than or different from biology although 

 many of you probably believe that it 

 does. The biology of man is much more 

 than and different from the biology of 

 other animals because of the social in- 

 heritance element in it if for no other 

 reason. 



The biologists who help lead us to the 

 fascinating but, I think, false belief that 

 human biology is to be all understood 

 some time on the basis of lower animal 

 biology alone, that all that is in man 

 is in lower animals although in much 

 simpler terms, have let their zeal and 

 enthusiasm make them overlook the 

 revelations that their wives and children, 

 their friends and their own selves make 

 to them every day. The trouble is they 

 leave their philosophic consideration of 

 human life to their laboratory hours. 

 They give up being philosophers when 

 they get home and become just human 

 beings, taking things as they come and 

 thinking about them in different terms.
