THE ASSERTION THAT MAN IS A SOCIAL ANIMAL
LECTURER IN CHARGE
DR. BAMIGBOYE
INTRODUCTION
CONCLUSION
After critical researches, analysis, facts, definitions and assertions made in the
above work, I've been driven to the conclusion and assertion that the acquisition
and learning of language and communication skills support the assertion that man
is a social animal.The above is further proved by the numerous and lengthy
definitions of each key words and terms as illustrated in the above text.
Conclusively, the acquisition of language and communication skills supports the
statement that man is a social animal.
