“Certain anthropologists hold that man, having discovered tools, ceased to evolve biologically. Animals, never having discovered them, continue to fashion drills out of their beaks, oars out of their hind feet, wings out of their forefeet, suits of armor out of their hides, levers out of their horns, saws out of their teeth. Whether this be true or not, all authorities agree that man is the tool-using animal. It sets him off from the rest of the animal kingdom as drastically as does speech.” MenDoeCertainAnimalSawsFeetFashionSpeechAuthorityToolsAgreeWingsKingdomsTeethBeing TrueSuitsEvolveHumankindHornsArmorDrillsLeversAnthropologistsOarAnimal KingdomBeaksSuits Of Armor Author:Stuart Chase
“The Magna Carta is an early reminder of the crucial difference between freedom and liberty. Liberty is freedom that is unique to humans, it is guaranteed by law. All animals are free, but in a system of humans total freedom is anarchy. Humans have thrived by letting a dominant authority regulate freedom. Liberty is a freedom that the authority has granted or has been persuaded to grant. For centuries, the state and the people have negotiated, peacefully and violently.” PeopleHumansHas BeensStatesLawDifferencesAnimalLibertyCenturyAuthorityUniqueGrantedGrantsAnarchyCrucialDominantRemindersFreedom And LibertyFreedom LibertyMagna Carta Author:Manu Joseph
