Animals and human

这段上课的录音是对人的“生物性”的介绍

笔果还原听力原文：

For too many people often say things like, “animals do this, but we don’t. ”or “this animals does this, that animals does this, but the humans don’t do things like that. ” Those statements have some hidden assumption that we are not animals. When we say animals do this, animals do that, we often assume that we are not animals. If we are not animals, what are we? Are we plants? Or trees? Or flowers? No, we are not. Then, OK, we are not plants. Then are we microorganisms? Milli-tiny microscopic things. No, we are not. Then the natural conclusion must be : we are not living things. That is not true. Yes, we are animals and I see animals in us and I see humans in animals. So I am going to talk about the animal behavior and human nature. In order to understand human nature, we can look into animals’ eyes and animal behavior and find something about what made us, who we are.
