Social studies in Russia begin to be taught in schools in the 5th grade. What biological traits does a person inherit? This question is one of the first to study and reflect, and this is logical. Is it worth studying human society, not fully understanding who people are and whether they were simply highly developed animals?
About 50 thousand years ago, people found their minds and began to build their lives the way they wanted, and not as dictated by natural conditions. And for the sake of freedom, humanity has changed wherever it wants, and some believe that it destroyed the entire ecosystem of the whole planet. But has man ceased to be an animal?
What biological traits does a person inherit
Social studies and anthropology divide them into conditional two parts:
- Physiological signs: foot or spine structure, developed brushes, large brain volume, anatomical structure (for example, location of organs), cellular organization, atavisms and reducers.
- Basic instincts of reproduction and self-preservation (for example, therefore, people sleep, eat, and are treated). All other instincts vary depending on the theory to which they relate, or the view of the scientist who puts forward them. One of the first researchers in this field is the famous professor Freud.
Heredity
But the most important thing is not what biological characteristics a person inherits, but this very possibility to pass them on to descendants. Like animals, people can inherit traits of a kind (populations, if you use the biological term). This is the property of each species to preserve the diversity of the organic world.
What biological traits does a person inherit from parents? The main family traits (and at the same time traits of race and nationality): skin or hair color, eye shape, body structure or oval face, generally phenotypic signs, and, unfortunately, including even hereditary diseases.
Society
This is a key word characterizing a turning point in anthropogenesis - that part of evolution that relates to the formation of man. People ceased to live in a herd, became society, and all further development went according to other laws: political, social, religious, which, one way or another, were historically and still subordinate to the economic interests of a separate group.
According to social science, one of the signs of progress in society is the social security of individual individuals. And the most vulnerable are orphans. It is on their sad example that the importance of human communication at the beginning of life is sharply manifested. Not just meeting basic needs (food, sleep, warmth), but human speech, facial expressions accompanying it, intonations and gestures, bodily contact and, most importantly, an example that you can follow and become a person like dad and mom. It is not so important what kind of biological traits a person inherits, and whether there is an opportunity given by nature to develop in a society of their kind.
An interesting question (there are various historical examples), can a child be raised by an animal and then return to people like Mowgli? What biological traits does a man inherit from mom and dad, and which adoptive beast parents inspire him, and can this be changed if the child returns to human society?
Brain
Surprisingly, the brain is capable of self-learning. An infant is born with developed kidneys or, for example, a heart that will work in the same way for a lifetime, as they began in the womb. The brain in a newborn is not developed and is ready for a huge jerk, provided that a significant adult is nearby. More and more scientists and psychologists agree that a huge amount of research confirms: the brain and its amazing capabilities are provided by nature, but without society it will not become human! He will be subordinated to key animal instincts, without the development of a bright human personality, a living and creative soul.
