Being a Human

In Being a Human, Charles Foster explores the nature of humanity by immersing himself in the sensory experiences of humans across three pivotal moments in history. Starting in a Derbyshire woodland with his son, he seeks to reconnect with ancient hunter-gatherer life, then journeys through the Neolithic era and into the Enlightenment to examine how our understanding of ourselves has evolved. The audiobook offers a thought-provoking reflection on what it truly means to be human, blending historical insight with personal experience.
