Excerpt from Major Notes, Vol. 2: January, 1961
The human distinctiveness I have in mind is not found primarily in physical characteristics such as man's opposable thumb or his upright posture. Man is distinctive in these ways and others. But preoccupation with the gross strue tural comparisons focuses our attention in the wrong -di rection. Man's essential distinctiveness is not found in zoological characteristics primarily but in a demonstrated potential for highly varied and ingenious responses to his environment.
