This term was proposed by Peng Lin, a historian at Tsinghua University.
When someone calls you "you're not human" or you're a beast. Don't worry, maybe he really didn't make a mistake. Why?
From the perspective of human evolutionary history, human beings are still in the process of evolution today, and have not completely degenerated into a "full meaning of the person". It's just that we're in it and don't know it either. It is equivalent to if you lived in a cave 10,000 years ago, according to the cognition of people in the society at that time, you have completed the transformation from animal to human. Then the same today, social people will also think that we have completed human evolution. Man's eyes can look at ten years, even a hundred years, but they can never see ten thousand years. Therefore, whether from the span of time or cognitive thinking, human beings should realize their own smallness and ignorance.
The origin and development of mankind has gone through several stages. The evolution from the earliest paleo-ape humans to the Homo sapiens era about 10,000 years ago (the Cave Man at the top of Zhoukou Mountain in Beijing) has gone through tens of millions of years. It is said that the cave people on the top of the mountain 10,000 years ago put on modern clothes, shoes and hats and walked out into the street, which is not much different from today's human beings.
We often see the words "bestiality" and "human-faced beastly heart" read. It shows that our modern blood is still flowing with cruelty, bloodlust, barbarism, greed... etc. Bestiality. Man does have a certain animality, which is a good manifestation and proof that we are not completely degenerated
In modern society, the word we talk about the most is "development". But they are all material developments, and the spiritual development of people is ignored. Man is the basic unit of social composition, and in the final analysis, it is the development of man himself. The ancients said that self-cultivation and family rule the country and the world, self-cultivation ranks first, if people do not do well, other things can not be done well. This shows the wisdom of the ancients. Modern people also often say that "no one is perfect". So, presumably, we are still in the process of evolution of "truly intelligent people" today. It is not perfect
We have completed the evolution from tailed to tailless, hairy to hairless, from limb walking to bilimb walking, and brain capacity from small to large from physically. Our spiritual evolution has not yet reached the point where it matches the evolution of form, that is, the remnants of bestiality.
So what is "a complete and pure person" and what is a "perfect person", we will not know. He may be an unselfish, self-serving Bethune, or a sage such as Kong Meng, modern as Lei Feng. I don't know, the only thing I know is that I'm in the middle of this process myself, and I'm not yet a pure person.
In this case, if someone insults me in the future, I should laugh and ignore it!
