  • Human Nature
    HUMAN NATURE John Scales Avery July 13, 2020 INTRODUCTION1 Human nature as a central theme of philosophy What is human nature? Are we humans good or evil? To what extent is the character of a person produced by heredity, and to what extent by environ- ment? Is competition more central to our existence than cooperation, or is it the other way around? How can a happy, peaceful and stable society be created? Are humans essentially the same as other animals, or are we funda- mentally different? Should humans dominate and control nature, or should we be the custodians of nature? These questions are central to philosophy, and they will be discussed in this book. Conflicting answers have been given by philosophers, scientists and religious leaders offer the centuries, from ear- liest times until the present. These answers will be reviewed and discussed. The chemistry and physiology of emotions Human emotions have a long evolutionary history. We share many emotions with our animal relatives - for example, mother love, fear and anger. Modern science has given us an insight into the chemistry and physiology of emotions. In our human brains, and in those of animals, there are billions of chemi- cally moderated connections between neurons. These are called synapses. Whether or not a synapse “fires” and transmits its message to the next neuron depends on the chemical environment of the synapse, and this en- vironment changes under the influence of hormones released by our glands, which are in turn influenced by our emotions. Ethology: the science of inherited behavior patterns Charles Darwin’s book The Expression of Emotions in Man and Animals (1871) shows that he was aware that behavior patterns are just as reliably inherited as physical characteristics, and that they are similar within related groups of animals.
