Ashley Montagu - Being Human
What does it mean to be a human being?
Ashley was the author of more than fifty books including Life Before Birth, Touching, On Being Human, The Nature of Human Aggression, The Natural Superiority of Women & Growing Young. He revolutionized our understanding of human nature and was friend and inspiration to Touch the Future for many years.
It always puzzled me - why human beings were the way they were. Trying to understand why women and men were as they were led to my book, The Natural Superiority of Women, why education wasn't what it should be led to my book Education and Human Nature in the Direction of Human Development, why aging isn't what it should be led to Growing Young, and so on. All that early experience determined what I would become by way of solving this question, "what are human beings born for?"
