Abstract
Two great religious traditions, Christian and Hindu, provide sharply dichotomous views of humanity. For the Christian, unbridgeable spiritual gaps separate humans from animals. Humans have souls; animals do not. For the Hindu, animal and human minds represent different points on a continuous progression toward Nirvana. These two philosophical perspectives permeate scientific as well as religious concepts of the human mind.
