Being Human

New website Being Human (via Carl Zimmer)

In Thriving, you are invited to discuss the latest ideas in neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, and evolutionary biology—and how they apply to our everyday lives. Thriving has three subsections: Life, Trends, and Being Human A-Z.

Life asks, “What do these ideas mean for me?” by examining how cutting-edge science and philosophy relate to the individual human experience.

Trends asks, “What do these ideas mean for our world?” by exploring how current scientific understanding relates to the broader societal and cultural human experience.

Being Human A-Z is a series of reflections on what it means to be human by Peter Baumann, Founder of BeingHuman.org.

In Discovering, experts focus on the science behind BeingHuman.org. Here, scientists discuss their research, answer questions about the human experience, and explore how our ideas have changed over the years.
