Abstract
As for the studies of humanity,the biological interpretation stresses its inherent basis and classifies human culture and action into biological category;the social and cultural hypothesis of humanity is devoted to interpreting the uniqueness of mankind;the conceptual approach emphasizes the core significance of the mental ability in helping form humanity;the interpretation from the perspective of social history concludes that humanity is a kind of changeable system or technical product.Any approach of determinism has some missing links between facts and value basis.Thus,the studies on humanity should have the characteristics of modern natural science,that is,its preconditions and conclusions should have clear definitions.Therefore,the science of humanity relies on the accumulated knowledge of biology,anthropology and psychology,and aims to explain the scope,pattern and degree of the interaction between human biological traits and cultural characteristics.In other words,it interprets humanity in the history of life.
