밑줄 친 “unfinished animals.”가 다음 글에서 의미하는 바로 가장 적절한 것은?
Ideas or theories about human nature have a unique place in the sciences. We don’t have to worry that the cosmos will be changed by our theories about the cosmos. The planets really don’t care what we think or how we theorize about them. But we do have to worry that human nature will be changed by our theories of human nature. Forty years ago, the distinguished anthropologist said that human beings are “unfinished animals.” What he meant is that it is human nature to have a human nature that is very much the product of the society that surrounds us. That human nature is more created than discovered. We “design” human nature, by designing the institutions within which people live. So we must ask ourselves just what kind of a human nature we want to help design.

stuck in an incomplete stage of development

shaped by society rather than fixed by biology

uniquely free from environmental context

born with both animalistic and spiritual aspect

“unfinished animals”의 의미로는 “shaped by society rather than fixed by biology”(생물학적으로 고정되지 않고 사회에 의해 형성되는)가 알맞다.
지문은 인간 본성이 “very much the product of the society that surrounds us”(주변 사회의 산물)이며 “more created than discovered”(발견되기보다 만들어진다)고 설명한다.
“stuck in an incomplete stage of development”(불완전한 발달 단계에 갇힌): “unfinished”를 글자 그대로 읽은 것으로, 지문은 발달 정체를 말하지 않는다.
“uniquely free from environmental context”(환경 맥락에서 자유로운): 사회가 본성을 만든다는 지문과 반대이다.
“born with both animalistic and spiritual aspect”(동물성과 영성을 함께 타고난): 지문에 없는 내용이다.
