El animal humano un ser social y solidario

Abstract

In this essay we will address the biological theory of mutual support as a of the causes of human development, this understood in terms of solidarity, the which I will try to clarify with greater precision in the development of this work; since My point of view is not right to believe that human progress and development presented by evolution theory based on the struggle for existence, and specifically related to social Darwinism exposed in the beginning of struggle and competition, where the strongest is the prevailing and the superiority suggests a superior race or species, and another of weak human beings in a competition for survival; This thesis does not represent the best way to Explain human progress. The geographer, naturalist and political thinker Russian, Peter Kropotkin Moscow, December 9, 1842 - Dmítrov, February 8, 1921) considered as one of the main theorists of the anarchist movement, and one of the founders of the anarcho-communism school; developed the theory of mutual support. Kropotkin, a defender of a decentralized communist society, free from central government and based on voluntary community associations Autonomous and worker-led companies, raised the importance of the cooperation as a key factor in evolution taking distance from the fight and competition in which social Darwinism was argued. And that is the thesis that I am going to defend in this essay.
