Human beings are animals. We breathe, eat and digest, and reproduce the same life 【B1】______ common to all animals. In a biological laboratory, rats, monkeys, and humans em very much the same. However, biological understanding is not enough: 【B2】______ itlf, it can never tell us what human beings are.【B3】______to our physical equipment—the naked human body—we are not【B4】______animal. We are tropical creatures,【B5】______hairless and nsitive to cold. We are not fast and have neither claws nor sharp teeth to defend ourlves. We need a lot of food but have almost no physical equipment to help us get it. In the purely physical 【B6】______, our species s
eems a poor【B7】______for survival. But we have survived—survived and multiplied and 【B8】______ the earth. Some day we will have a【B9】______ living on the moon, a place with neither air nor water and with temperatures that turn gas into solids. How can we have done all the things. Part of the answer is physical.【B10】______its limitations, our physical equipment has some important【B11】______. We have excellent vision and hands that can【B12】______objects with a precision unmatched by any other【B13】______. Most importantly, we have a large brain with an almost【B14】______number of neural【B15】______. We have ud this physical equipment to create culture, the key to our survival and success. If we live in the Arctic, we supply the warmth our tropical bodies need【B16】______clothing, shelter, and【B17】______heat. If a million people want to live in a dert that supplies natural food for only a few hundred, we find water to grow food and【B18】______deficits by transporting supplies from distant places. Inhabitants of our eventual moon colony will bring their own food and oxygen and then create an artificial earth environment to supply necessities. With culture, we can **e our natural limitations. It was not always【B19】_
_____. Our distant ancestors were just animals, faced with the limits of their physical equipment. They had no【B20】______and lacked the physical capacity to u it.

In the past few decades, remarkable findings have been made in ethology, the study of animal social behavior. Earlier scientists had【B1】______that nonhuman social life was almost totally instinctive or fixed by genetics. Much more careful obrvation has shown that 【B2】______ variation occurs among the social ties of most species, showing that learning is a part of social life. That is, the【B3】______are not solely fixed by the genes.
【B4】______, the learning that occurs is often at an early age in a process that is called imprinting. Imprinting is clearly 【B5】______ instinctive, but it is not quite like the learning of humans; it is something in between the two. An illustration best【B6】______the nature of imprinting. Once, biologists thought that ducklings followed the mother duck becau of instincts. Now we know that, shortly 【B7】______ they hatch, ducklings fix 【B8】______ any object about the size of a duck and will henceforth follow it. So ducklings may follow a basketball or a briefca if the are 【B9】______ for the mother duck at the time when imprinting occurs. Thus, social ties can be considerably【B10】______, even ones that have a considerable ba【B11】______by genetics. Even among the social incts something like imprinting【B12】______influence social behavior. For example, biologists once thought **municated with others purely【B13】______instinct. But, in examining a "dance" that bees do to indicate the distance and direction of a pollen source, obrvers found that bees raid in isolation could **municate effectively. At a higher level, the genetic ba ems to be much more for an all purpo learning rather than the more specific respons of imprinting. Chimpanzees,
for instance, generally【B14】______very good mother but Jane Goodall reports that some chimps carry the infant upside down or【B15】______fail to nurture the young. She believes that the females were the youngest or the 【B16】______ child of a mother. In such circumstances, they did not have the opportunity to obrve how their own mother【B17】______for her young. Certainly adolescent chimps who are still with their mothers when other young are born take much interest in the rearing of their young brother or sister. They have an excellent opportunity to learn, and the social ties that are created between mother and young 【B18】______ Goodall to describe the social unit as a family. The mother offspring tie is beyond 【B19】______; there is some evidence to 【B20】______ that ties also continue between siblings of the same x, that is "brother-brother" and "sister-sister".
