Dr. Prajakta Pramod Dhumale* and Dr. Gayatri D. Mawale

The special qualities, which made him supreme of nature are - progressive and biological evolution, high power of thinking and interpretation, erect posture, progressive physiological development, facial expression, community life, culture, ability to speak language, bold adventurous nature, power of invent, better sensation and location, abuse, anger, selfishness and the difference between one man and the other. At the same time, along with these advantages man has adopted some disadvantages also. For instance these advantages gave him a better identification; no doubt, simultaneously it gave him certain afflictions too like, haemorrhoids and varicosities.
