The biological essence of man is such that, on the one hand, he is a biosocial being and cannot but obey natural laws. On the other hand, he conducts his life in accordance with the social laws established by him.
The systematic position of people is represented in a certain way. The systematic position of a person refers him to the animal kingdom, the type of chordates, the class of mammals, the subclass of placental. Further, people belong to the order of primates, the suborder of higher primates, the superfamily of hominoids, the family of hominids. Genus - man, species - reasonable.
The school curriculum uses four basic sciences to study people. All of them, in one way or another, affect the systematic position of a person.
For example, anatomy studies the structure and shape of the body in general and organs in particular. Physiology tells about the vital functions of systems, organs and their complex. Hygiene is the science of promoting and maintaining he alth. Patterns, forms and development of mentalactivity is studied by psychology.
The systematic position of a person implies the presence of abstract thinking. In this, humans differ from apes and mammals. In this case, there is a general structural plan, including the presence of a notochord in the embryo, the absence of a membrane in the cell.
A certain systematic position of a person implies the impact of both social and biological factors. Among the biological distinguish heredity, variability, natural selection and the struggle for existence. Social factors include consciousness, speech, labor.
Considering the systematic position of a person, scientists were looking for an answer to the question of what a person himself is. And today this question occupies the minds of naturalists and leading scientists. Significantly increased knowledge about man contributes to a deeper understanding of the main question of philosophy about the relationship between being and thinking, the material and the spiritual. This knowledge also helps to develop the most effective methods for the formation of new generations.
Within the framework of the genetic branch of science, the biological unity of the links present in the organic world was established. One of these links is a person.
The evolution of biological systems allowed the ancestors of people to approach the line, having crossed over which they began social development. The emergence of man represents the emergence of the highest level of living organization, which was achieved in the course of laboractivities.
The successes achieved by genetic scientists have made it possible to solve many significant issues related to the he alth and life of people.
After the appearance of a sufficiently developed nervous system, the ability of distant ancestors to reflect reality moved to a qualitatively new level. At the same time, taking into account the complexity of the psyche of representatives of the animal world, their ability to reflect reality cannot be called consciousness, which is inherent in people. Purposeful social labor is considered to be the source of consciousness.
