Explanation / Answer
Answer :
Yes this is true and i do agree with this statement that human beings need each other's help and is dependant on other people. The primary reason is one evolutionary or biological trait that sets humans apart from animal is the fact that we're a species who's mastered the art of learning and imitation. Which means that we are today not just because we're extremely smart but because we've built upon knowledge thats been passed on to us through other humans and that made it easier for us to succeed. Thats wy we're more dependant on each other.
Also its a biological fact that animals like dogs are born knowing how to swim, run. hunt etc. While humans are the only animals born into this world without natural biological instincts that have been pre programmed into our minds. This makes is difficult for a human being to survive in the world without skills being passed on to us by other humans. This is why we need each other because while other animals rely on instinct, we rely on learning and imitation.
