Abstract
The
concept of human nature has over the years been problematic. From the
Aristotelian-Thomistic view, the human person is distinguished from any other
being because of his rational nature. This view has been challenged today from
different angles. The reasons for the challenge vary but the central question
remains: who is the human person? What is human nature? The answer to this
fundamental question provokes other areas or fields of enquiry. Today more than
ever before the scientific explanation of the distinctive characteristic of the
human person is interesting. Graeme Finlay in his article “The Emergence of
Human Distinctiveness; The Genetic Story,” clearly demonstrates that the DNA
can scientifically tell us more about human nature. We are firmly rooted in the
biological world. Our gene can provide the substrate for all that we are. This
article attempts to affirm this view but states that this perspective in
insufficient in establishing the reality about the human person.
