A key principle in Montessori philosophy, Human Tendencies refers to certain predispositions that are considered universal across human beings, irrespective of age, culture, or race.[1] These tendencies have been present since the beginning of the human species and are believed to have an evolutionary origin. Mario Montessori referred to the importance of these tendencies when he stated, "Montessori stresses the need to serve those special traits that have proved to be tendencies of Man throughout his history."[2]
