HumANomaly

Scientists have known for decades that humans, known scientifically as homo sapiens, are primates. Because our educational curricula are a reflection of our scientific discoveries this information has been part of the curricula taught in our schools for quite a long time. But when one looks at how science approaches the study of humans in comparison to the study of other primates and other species it appears that humans are treated as if they are neither primates nor a species. At this point humans remain the only species that is studied from the perspective of the individual organism rather than from the perspective of the species. This is a serious gap in our practice of science and by extension in our educational curriculum. More importantly it explains why humans are dissatisfied with the current human condition. This condition will not be corrected until the gap in our science and in our education is closed.
