Can the “man” be studied and understood only from a biological perspective? What do you think about?
Two perspectices have to merged for the study of wo-man:
---natural science of humans
---human science of nature.
My approach is a natural science of the human society (and culture),
this can also include physico-or natural theology.
Human biology is a necessary and vital part of this body of knowledge, but not sufficient to understand the evolutionary conversion of natural history into cultural history via social history, i.e. a human without ethical culture equals the animal world, where only bio-logical rules apply, in terms of selection pressure and response of the living organism. Biology can very well explain the lower nature of the human species, which is still a very strong force in human society.
Mystics do not agree fully, where to put the dividing interface between a human and an animal into the living body; my personal view of this distinction is that the dividing line can be drawn somewhere under the heart, above the gut.
answer is No, because man is not only physical body but it has wonderful existential aspects which this question comes from these aspects.
