The Noun Interpretation of "Man"

Human beings are the general term for human beings. Human beings are social creatures that appear at a certain stage in the development of nature. Darwin, Huxley, haeckel and others all proved that man evolved from tertiary higher apes. Human beings occupy the highest position in the biological development stage of nature. Engels pointed out that labor "is the first basic condition of the whole human life", which is not only the basis of making people independent from nature, but also the symbol of the special nature that distinguishes people from nature. "Labor creates man himself". Therefore, human beings can be said to be the product of social labor. As the motive force of human origin, social labor has established unique social ties, created culture and formed human body structure. The history of "labor creates man" shattered the speculation of religious idealism about "God creates man" for thousands of years.

The emergence and development of human beings can be divided into several stages: in the first stage, Australopithecus Australopithecus (the latest ancestor of human beings who lived more than 5 million years ago) turned to live in groups on land, omnivore and use natural objects as tools (for hunting and using prey), and then began to process tools and occasionally make tools. This has made comprehensive preparations for the second stage. The second stage is marked by the appearance of primitive groups in the early stage of human origin (Homo erectus and Homo erectus are the oldest peoples). These primitive people made rough tools with stones, bones and wood, hunted animals and learned to use fire. Their descendants, that is, the ancients or Neanderthals, have been able to make tools with more complex shapes and uses, build primitive hand-built houses, and learn to make fires. The emergence of socialized mass production has caused the emergence of consciousness and language, making people body form. The formation of mankind has gone through hundreds of thousands of years (Southeast Asia, South Asia, pre-Asia, Africa). In the third stage, the primitive group became primitive society, and Neanderthals became modern people, which happened 35,000 to 40,000 years ago.

The characteristics of human beings are: completely upright posture, dexterous hands, complex and syllabic language and thinking brain; And has the ability to create tools and actively transform nature.
