Features: The Cultural Progress of Humans and Animals
The achievements of human civilization are obtained through primitive experience. Through cultural progress and the formation of society, the distinctions in hierarchy, occupations, and handicrafts have been significantly improved, enabling rapid development of human civilization. The experience gained by humans and animals differs in quantity rather than quality. For humans, the complex living environment requires a rich and enthusiastic psychological life to adapt. The psychological experiences of young individuals are acquired from ancestors and fellow humans. Therefore, the psychological differences between humans and animals are quantitative rather than qualitative. The progress of human civilization, similar to that of animals, is accumulated through initial experiences.
When fruits on trees are not sufficient to satisfy hunger, humans immediately observe that they choose to hunt meat-eating animals through life experience reflexes. For example, the Native Americans who hide in herds wearing caribou masks, the Australian Aboriginals who use pipes to breathe underwater to hunt birds, the Egyptians who stick their heads into gourds, and the fishermen who set up stakes and barriers at low tide. Humans have gone through the stages of hunting, nomadism, and agricultural production, forcing them to accumulate new experiences and engage in endless new work. From the shell heaps on the shore, "Middle and Late Stone Age shell and bone heaps," it is not difficult to see that there was almost no difference between human food and animal food during the Stone Age. Primitive people built their houses in places with dense branches or in caves, which is exactly the same as the way birds and fierce beasts choose their habitats. The Native Americans connected tree branches to build round huts, which gradually evolved into larger rectangular houses. The building materials also gradually changed from wood to stone due to climatic conditions and the properties of available materials.
The choices of humans and animals in satisfying needs differ. Generally, both are connected to surrounding objects through the muscles of their bodies. Animals directly grasp what satisfies their needs or avoid distracting objects to fully meet their needs; humans, on the other hand, use their rich psychological experiences and free selection methods, while also considering and excluding objections to choose the most comfortable way. By observing the activities of objects, even though these activities rarely have a direct relationship with them and are often used in daily life. Humans understand that animals, such as birds, are not afraid of pumpkins, so they chose such masks. Humans capture small birds by throwing pellets, while monkeys struggle immensely but still fail to catch even one small bird. This is because humans have tested the effectiveness of throwing pellets in planned activities. If monkeys had clothes, they would certainly like to wear them, but they lack the ability to obtain hides and branches. Monkeys sometimes use objects to strike enemies or hit fruits with stones. Humans have stabilized all highly advantageous methods, and this economical and practical talent is only possessed by higher animals.
Humans began by studying stones, manufacturing hammers and axes, and spending weeks sharpening their spears. The production of weapons and tools brought convenience to their lives. Animals are not afraid of fake birds made from gourds and are not afraid of their companions at all. These masks are the choices of animals.
