Do you agree observing and studying animals’ behaviors helps us to learn human nature?

“Animal World” is one of my favorite TV programs. When I watch it, I am always surprised by certain similarities between animals and human beings. So I believe that animals’ behaviors reveal some aspects of human nature.

Every creature, whether this creature is an animal or a man, follows some rules, such as the Natural Selection theory put up by Darwin. The set of characteristics called human nature is shared by all normal human beings, and it was formed during a long time of evolution. Before human beings were so evolved to have advanced technology, they suffered same things like other kinds of animals. For instance, both men and animals will tend to protect young ones when an emergency takes place, for the reason that all creatures knew the significance of children. Only have a stable number of cubs can a group survive. Animals’ behaviors have parallels in human nature.

Besides, human’s characteristics nowadays have been greatly influenced by factors like desires for money and fame. People spend too much time thinking about salaries, social status and so on that there is little time remained to listen to our own hearts. Some people are driven by these desires to do things which disobey human nature. But if we watch the scene when a mother zebra tries her best to protect her baby zebra from being hurt by a hunter, we will surely be touched and remember our own mothers. It is much easier for us to know about human nature if we observe and study animals’ behaviors for animals are much less complex than human beings.

However, there are differences between human beings and animals, certainly. Human beings are more rational and have the ability to judge. The results coming out from observation and study of animals’ behaviors can only be accounted as references. When we come to a conclusion, we should take the distinctions between animals and men into consideration.

All in all, I agree observing and studying animals’ behaviors helps us to learn human nature. In fact, I think it is a rather easy and efficient way to achieve this goal.
