Scientist Charles Darwin discretely opened the possibility of a
purely animalistic origin for the human species. He repeatedly
insisted that the differences between humans and others were a
question of degree only. Sciences were, however, taken in the
opposite direction, where these differences cannot have been
generated by the natural processes of biological evolution.
In "The Animal in the Secret World of Darwin," author Michel
Bergeron discuses the effects on the sciences caused by the
presence of questions on humanity only answerable with religious
beliefs. His investigation suggests that significant elements of
perceived humanity have remained sufficiently narrowly defined to
continue to agree with religious beliefs over the entire period
starting with the scientific revolution centuries ago and reaching
the present. Instead, he questions, could we be the simple animal
who can only live on the belief not to be a simple animal?
To alleviate these biases on the sciences of life, Bergeron
advocates a different synthesis between Darwinism and Lamarckism.
He further asks: How can sciences pretend to a cosmology neutral in
term of religious influence since all of its complex mathematical
developments were made under the constraint that we can link the
present directly to the Big Bang?
