Question

Do you think that a human being can change his human nature to animal nature?

Answer 1

No. No matter how much you try, you will only be masking your human nature. Nature cannot be substituted.

Answer 2

No! - then there would be no boundary between human and animal nature. If human nature becomes animal nature then by default humans are no longer 'Humans', as it is this vital difference that sets us apart from animals.

Yes we share basic core elements but its the differences that make us unique. Many a times when we find something outrageous, we call that person 'animal' - in a way we are saying what you have done is not a characteristic of what we as a humans find acceptable. Simply b/c it is primitive and we as being socially superior can not and do not have primitive tendencies, or certainly don't find it acceptable.

Answer 3

Since a human IS an animal, his/her nature is an animal nature. The desire for food, sleep/rest, procreation, a place to house...these are the same in dogs, cats, bears and humans.

The only difference between the human animal and other animals is reason/logic.

Answer 4

Yes, there are many individuals who have dehumanized themselves in history. War is all about the dehumanization of the enemy. Soldiers are taught to think of their enemies in terms of targets, not people. In the 40's they were Krauts.  In the 50's and 60's they were commies, etc.

Answer 5

I think most people are human nature in their minds, and animal nature in their bodies.  

Just think about it, what are wild animals doing in their own environment?  They are surviving.  They hunt their prey, explore and procreate.  It does sound very similar!

change the way they think of others... and people can pay more attention to their basic needs,which is animal nature
