The rapid growth of biological knowledge and the need for societal reflection on this knowledge and its applications in Australia and overseas make it increasingly urgent that the humanities and social sciences draw on a biologically credible vision of human nature. We will study how non-scientists understand human nature and compare their ideas to those of scientists from a range of different disciplines. We will examine what current biology reveals about the biological basis of human characteristics and develop an account of human nature that is defensible in the light of that knowledge.

生物学知识的快速增长以及对这些知识及其在澳大利亚和海外的应用进行社会反思的需要，使得人文和社会科学利用生物学上可信的人性愿景变得越来越紧迫。我们将研究非科学家如何理解人性，并将他们的想法与来自不同学科的科学家的想法进行比较。我们将研究当前的生物学揭示了人类特征的生物学基础，并根据这些知识对人性进行了辩护。
