"What is this thing we call human nature? Is it something one possesses simply by virtue of the fact that he was born a human being, or does one come into it only by striving and working for it? And, whether the human element in human nature is something we inherit or something we acquire, just what is it? How does human nature differ from the nature of the rest of living beings? These questions, and many others along the same line, must be raised by every person who desires to be called a human being not only because he looks like one, but because he deserves the name by the way he manages his life. This book tells the story of what is "human" in human nature as it is to be discovered by a wide and thoughtful reading in the fields of biology and psychology. It is the hope of the author that he has read the story truly and has succeeded in telling it well. The reader is warned that the story this book tells about himself will not help him to win friends, or influence people, or begin life at forty, or find an easy, quick and sure way to power, fame and fortune. But if he feels his obligation as a human being to lead the life that is worthy of a human being to lead because it is within his power to lead it, then he will find that these pages will help him discover what that life is and the road he must follow if he is to attain it"--Book.
