What does it mean to be human? The goal of this podcast is not to answer this question, but rather to understand the scientific and socio-cultural perspectives that shape how we answer this question. And hopefully, in asking the question, we’ll come to think about it a new, more complex way.
In the Season 1 finale of Human, we take a look back at what we've learned and reexamine the question of what it means to be human.
