The Theory of Biological Origin —— The First Formal Theory of Educational Origin

(1) Representative figures: Litterno and Percy Neng.

(2) Viewpoint: Education originated from the biological instinct of the animal kingdom. He thinks that both humans and animals have education, but he doesn't realize the educational nature of education. This theory of origin is not accurate enough. Its fundamental mistake lies in its failure to grasp the purpose and sociality of human education and to distinguish the difference between human educational behavior and animal rearing behavior, so it is wrong.

(3) Status: Based on Darwin's biological evolution theory, it has made a big step forward compared with the myth origin theory, which indicates that the explanation of education has turned from myth to science, and it is the first formally put forward education origin theory.

The origin theory of educational biology was put forward by the French sociologist and philosopher Little Noel. Some people think that education is not unique to human society. As far as its origin is concerned, education is a biological process and an inevitable behavior based on instinct. I believe that in addition to human society, there are also low-level education in higher animals. Biological impulse is based on the instinct of species preservation. Parents should pass on their knowledge and skills to their offspring, which is an educational act.
