Man was originally an animal. What he did and how he did it resulted in sufficient improvement to allow the installment of conscious awareness. (Thus it is reasonable to expect that continuing this development (omnivorous diet, curious nature, agressive approach to problem solving etc.) is reasonable.)
Consciously-aware man in developing in many different ways that can have significant impacts on both his animal and ethereal nature. This evolutionary process is somewhat trial and error which helps to explain the diversity and dichotomies that are evident in the human nature.
As evolution and consciousness raising are open ended but improvement and refinement (achieving perfection or a state of grace or heaven or call it what you will) are close-ended, man finds himself in a existential juxtaposition of self. Only his real nature and its eventual manifestation will reveal the end result.
