Biological Science: What Makes Humans Human?

Maria Konnikova, Sebastian Seung and Carl Zimmer with Nathan Lents

Biology professor and Human Errors author Nathan Lents moderates a panel of experts to discuss what makes us human.

New Yorker science and psychology columnist Maria Konnikova weighs in on the psychological components of our human identity; Princeton neuroscience and computer science researcher Sebastian Seung looks to the ever changing connections between our brain’s neurons — where nature meets nurture; and Carl Zimmer helps us understand what we have received from the generations past and what we can pass along to the future.
