ABSTRACT
Man, like all other animals, has certain biological requirements. In former years a great deal of man's behavior was attributed to “instincts,” or biological drives. Certainly, like other animals, man does have a biological make-up which includes a number of “drives.” But it has been widely recognized in the last several decades that the specific behavior of man, although beginning with these biological needs, is very strongly altered by each social group through the training of its young. To consider man's behavior as a simple product of instincts is an oversimplication and denies the very essence of man-ness, which is patterned behavior produced by learning.
