In What Makes us Human? Charles Pasternak, an eminent Oxford scientist, asks some of the world’s most brilliant thinkers to answer this perennial puzzle. Together they draw on a spectrum of disciplines including anthropology, biochemistry, philosophy, medicine, religion, and neuroscience, to consider what qualities separate man from monkey. Is it our imagination or our ability to imitate others? Is it our knack for cooking or our perpetual curiosity? Is it because we are social, scientific, or spiritual? This thought-provoking collection provides an accessible look at the big questions researchers are grappling with today. Exploring the true nature of human nature, What Makes us Human? sheds new light on how and why our ancestors produced such clever, talented, and unlikely progeny. For all to enjoy.
